Issue Possible cause What you can do
Aer using the
system in Automated
Mode for a few
weeks, sensor
glucose values have
been running high.
Your Target
Glucose may need
to be adjusted. In
Automated Mode,
Target Glucose is
the main setting
that you can control
to adjust automated
insulin delivery.
Check your Target Glucose here:
Menu button (
) > Settings
> Bolus
e Target Glucose can be set
between 6.1–8.3 mmol/L. If
you’re running high, you can
try reducing the Target Glucose
around the period that you’re
running higher than desired.
Other SmartBolus
Calculator settings
may need to be
adjusted.
ink about your SmartBolus
Calculator settings: In particular,
your Insulin to Carb ratio,
Correction Factor and Target
Glucose might need to be
adjusted. For example, if these
high periods are aer lunch,
you might need more insulin
around lunchtime to reduce the
likelihood of running high in the
aernoon.
Changing your Basal
Programmes or Max Basal
setting will not make a dierence
for the Automated Mode
function. is only works for
Manual Mode.
Discuss with your healthcare
provider what settings are best
for you.
Sensor glucose
values have been
running high over
several days.
Although the
system is able to
automate insulin
delivery, your body’s
insulin needs can
change daily. is
means that every
day with diabetes is
dierent.
ink about diet, exercise, Pod
insertion site and changes in your
body’s needs, and how they are
aecting your glucose.
e system will adapt with every
new Pod to give you just the right
amount of insulin to get you to
the Target Glucose. As the system
detects higher insulin needs, it
will adapt to adjust insulin dosing
accordingly.
