Chapter 3: Using Your Pump
Before Using
Successful insulin pump therapy requires you to check your blood glucose
levels often. It is a good idea to check your blood glucose (using an ACCU-CHEK
blood glucose monitor) at least four times a day, or as often as you are
directed by your doctor or healthcare team.
Wearing Your Pump
Attach your pump safely to your body or clothes to prevent damage. Special
carrying systems let you carry your pump on or under your clothes. All specified
accessories have been tested and approved for use with your ACCU-CHEK Spirit
insulin pump. The proper functioning of your pump can only be guaranteed if you
use it with ACCU-CHEK Spirit insulin pump accessories.
See Disetronic Medical Systems sterile products and accessories catalogs and
brochures for more information. Or, contact Pump Support at 1-800-688-4578.
