To enter a blood glucose reading:
1. Tap the Glucose eld.
If you have manually entered a blood glucose reading from a meter within the
past 10 minutes, that value automatically appears in the Glucose eld. If you
want the SmartBolus Calculator to use that value, skip the next step.
2. Tap the box in the circle and enter the blood glucose reading. Alternatively,
slide the indicator along the circle to enter the blood glucose reading.
For the meaning of the colours displayed on the Enter Glucose screen, see
“How Blood Glucose Readings are Displayed” on page 109.
3. Tap ADD TO CALCULATOR. e SmartBolus Calculator screen appears.
4. Review the suggested correction bolus, which is shown below the blood
glucose reading. e correction bolus has been adjusted for any insulin on
board (IOB) (see “SmartBolus Calculator Rules” on page 238).
Import and Use Sensor Glucose Value
Warning: ALWAYS be aware of your current sensor glucose value, trust how
your body feels and do not ignore symptoms of high and low glucose. Even
though insulin delivery adjusts automatically in Automated Mode with the
goal of bringing your glucose level to your dened Target Glucose, severe
hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia may still occur.
If your sensor glucose values do not match your symptoms, ALWAYS check
your blood glucose using a BG meter, and consider treatment and/or Sensor
calibration if necessary. ALWAYS switch to Manual Mode if you feel you are
receiving inaccurate sensor glucose values.
• Erroneously high sensor glucose values can cause excessive insulin
delivery, leading to severe hypoglycaemia, seizure, loss of consciousness
or death.
• Erroneously low sensor glucose values can cause prolonged insulin
suspension, leading to hyperglycaemia, DKA or death.
If you are having symptoms that are not consistent with your blood glucose
readings and you have followed all instructions described in this User Guide,
contact your healthcare provider.
If a Sensor is connected, you can use the current sensor glucose value and trend in
both Manual and Automated Modes:
¾ Tap USE SENSOR.
If the current sensor glucose value is below the dened Minimum Glucose for
Calculations setting, you will see a message that the SmartBolus Calculator is
