Ian Insight is planning to eat a pizza. He knows it contains
a lot of fat and slowly digestible carbohydrates, and few
fast-acting carbohydrates. Therefore, he programs an
Extended Bolus for his pizza.
4.4 Extended Bolus
An Extended Bolus delivers your programmed insulin dose over a
specified period of time.
This bolus type can be helpful for meals that are slowly
digestible, for example, foods with complex carbohydrates or
foods that are high in fat.
The duration of the bolus delivery can be programmed in
15-minute intervals for up to 24 hours, and begins immediately
after you confirm the bolus. Throughout the bolus delivery, your
pump displays the remaining time and amount of the Extended
Bolus in the RUN screen.
You can add a Standard or Quick Bolus to an ongoing Extended
Bolus and one additional Extended or Multiwave Bolus.
