A blood glucose value is current for up to 10 minutes
after it is tested. So you can wait up to 10 minutes,
restart the
bolus process, and not have to retest your
blood glucose in order to include it in the suggested
bolus calculator.
When your blood glucose result reads “HIGH” or
“LOW,” the suggested bolus calculator will be
disabled.
If you use a separate blood glucose meter—not the
Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM)—you will need to
enter your blood glucose manually. On the
Home
screen, choose Bolus , then press Select . Use the Up/
Down Controller buttons to enter your current BG
value, then press Yes if you want this value to be used
by the suggested bolus calculator.
You can also enter a BG manually by choosing the
More actions menu, then choosing Add BG Read-
ing . See the end of Chapter 7, Checking Your Blood
Glucose.
