Use a delay (lag time) before the bolus delivery
In some situations (e.g. gastroparesis), it might be helpful to start
a bolus after you start eating. With the lag setting you can specify
a delay between programming a bolus and the actual beginning
of the bolus delivery. Discuss using the lag setting with your
healthcare team. See chapter8.4.2, page118, Bolus settings.
Extended Bolus
For situations that require delivery of bolus insulin over a period
of time instead of all at once, you can use an Extended Bolus.
The Extended Bolus amount is delivered over a period of time
that you can adjust as necessary. This can be especially helpful
when you eat slowly digestible foods or attend long-lasting
buets. See chapter4.4, page60, Extended Bolus.
2 options to deliver a Standard Bolus
To program and deliver a Standard Bolus, you have 2 options:
either walk through the menus or use the Quick Bolus feature
that allows you to program a Standard Bolus in distinct
increments without even looking at the display. See chapter4.1,
page53, Standard Bolus. See chapter4.2, page55, Quick Bolus.
Adjustable bolus speed
You can adjust the delivery speed of the boluses. This is very
helpful if you have high bolus amounts that cause insulin to leak
from your skin after delivery or if you experience pain during the
bolus delivery. See chapter8.4.2, page118, Bolus settings.
