The default setting for the Suspend on low feature is off. Consult your healthcare
professional for the Suspend on low setting that is best for you.
If you turn on Suspend on low, then Alert on low is turned on automatically. For
more information, see Alert on low, on page 164.
WARNING: The Suspend on low feature uses the sensor glucose
value, not your blood glucose value, to automatically suspend your
pump. Your pump may automatically suspend when your sensor
glucose is at or below the low limit, while your blood glucose is
above that limit. This could result in hyperglycemia. Likewise, your
pump may not suspend even though your blood glucose is at or
below the low limit. This could result in hypoglycemia. Always
check your blood glucose and treat as appropriate.
Responding to a Suspend on low event
When you clear the Suspend on low alarm, the SmartGuard suspend by sensor
icon
flashes and "Suspended on low" appears on your Home screen.
When a Suspend on low event occurs, the pump alerts you.
When a Suspend on low event occurs, insulin delivery remains 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.
Your basal insulin delivery will be suspended for a maximum of two hours, unless
these criteria are met during the suspend or unless you manually resume your
basal insulin. For details, see Manually resuming basal delivery during a suspend by
sensor event, on page 174.
If you do not respond to the Suspend on low alarm, your pump resumes insulin
delivery after two hours and continues to display an emergency message.
