normal bolus
from your Aviator Companion to cover a meal or lower a high

Whenever you need to deliver a normal bolus for food or to correct a high glucose level
•
and you do NOT want to use the bolus calculator.

Materials
Your companion completely set up.
•
Your pump completely set up and delivering basal insulin.

Healthcare professional’s recommendation for your bolus settings for the pump and as-
•
sistance from Diabetes Educator or pump trainer as needed.
Your personalized Table of Settings in

Section 12 - Appendix A.
Helpful Information
Note:
In order to follow the directions and use the functions described in this section, you should have already set
up your companion using the
SETUP WIZARD
. Detailed instructions for setting up your companion can be found in
Section 2.1
and
Section 6.1
.
You MUST
•
START basal delivery before you deliver any boluses.
Bolus insulin is an amount of insulin your body needs at any specific time in order to deal with food intake and/
•
or
blood glucose level
s that are elevated above your personal safety threshold. You can record your personal-
ized bolus recommendations in the Table of Settings in Appendix A.
The companion looks at the amount of insulin that is still active from earlier boluses. This amount is displayed
•
as insulin on board (IOB). As the insulin gets used in the body, the amount of IOB goes down. Your IOB will be
displayed in the
panel
on the Home screen.
There may be times when there is not enough information to calculate an accurate IOB level. In those instances,
•
a question mark will appear next to the insulin on board reading indicating that the IOB calculation may NOT
have sufficient information to accurately calculate IOB.
The companion offers several other options for administering a bolus. Additional bolus features include Ex-
•
tended and
Dual Bolus
types, and Bolus Calculators. Additional bolus features include Extended and Dual Bolus
types, and Bolus Calculators. You may choose to use these options or simply use the
Manual Bolus
feature.
Personal
•
bolus options
should already have been set up via the SETUP WIZARD. You should record your per-
sonal list of bolus options in the Table of Settings in Appendix A. These options can be modified in the SETUP
WIZARD.
