• If Alert before low is off, then Suspend before low appears on the screen, but
the pump will not beep or vibrate when insulin delivery is suspended.
WARNING: The Suspend before low feature uses the sensor glucose
value, not your blood glucose value to automatically suspend
insulin delivery. Your pump automatically suspends insulin delivery
when your sensor glucose is approaching the low limit. However
your blood glucose reading may be higher than the sensor glucose
value. This could result in hyperglycemia. Likewise, your pump may
not suspend insulin delivery because your sensor glucose is not
approaching the low limit. However, your blood glucose may be
lower than the sensor glucose value. This could result in
hypoglycemia. Always check your blood glucose and treat as
appropriate.
Suspend before low conditions
When a Suspend before low event occurs, all insulin delivery is suspended. For a
Suspend before low event to occur, both of these must happen:
• Your SG value is at or within 3.9 mmol/L above your low limit.
• Your SG is predicted to reach or fall below a level that is 1.1 mmol/L above
your low limit within approximately 30 minutes.
Responding to a Suspend before low event
When you clear the Suspend before low alert, the SmartGuard suspend by sensor
icon
flashes and "Suspended before low" appears on your Home screen. If your
SG reaches your low limit, an Alert on low occurs.
When a Suspend before low event occurs, insulin delivery will remain suspended
for at least 30 minutes, unless you manually resume your basal delivery. For details,
see Manually resuming basal delivery during a suspend by sensor event, on page 174.
After the minimum 30-minute suspend time, basal insulin delivery will
automatically resume if the following conditions are met:
• Your SG is at least 1.1 mmol/L above your low limit.
• Your SG is estimated to be more than 2.2 mmol/L above your low limit within
30 minutes.
