3. Carb Counting Mode - Setup
The following settings must be set before you can
begin carb counting dosing:
Maximum Calculated Dose – The maximum
calculated dose that your healthcare provider
determines is safe for you. If a single dose
recommendation or the total of recent doses plus the
recommendation exceeds the maximum calculated
dose setting, an alert will be displayed. Refer to the
instructions given by your healthcare provider.
Duration of Insulin Action – This is the amount of time
that insulin is actively lowering your blood glucose. It is
used to calculate Active Insulin.
Time of Day Settings – By default, this is disabled and
Target Blood Glucose, Insulin-to-carbohydrate Ratio,
and Insulin Sensitivity Factor are constant throughout
the day. By sliding the switch to the right, you can set
these parameters to four different values throughout
the day. To disable this feature, slide the switch back to
the left.
Time of Day (If Time of Day Settings are enabled) –
When enabled, these select the start time for each
new set of parameters. Each day at the time selected,
the parameters in the column beneath it will be active
until the next column’s time is reached. Tap the time
to adjust it. Note that the times must be in order and
cannot overlap.
Target Blood Glucose – This is the blood glucose
value you are trying to achieve. When entering a
current glucose value into the Dose Calculator, it will
recommend insulin or carbohydrate to return to this
target value.
Insulin Sensitivity Factor – This is the amount your
blood glucose is lowered by 1 unit of insulin.
Insulin-to-carbohydrate Ratio – This is the number of
grams of carbohydrate covered by 1 unit of insulin.
