5.5 Setting Bolus Advice for the First Time
Set Up Bolus Advice
If you did not set up bolus advice when you went through the Setup Wizard and have now decided to utilize
bolus advice, proceed with this section. Once you do set up bolus advice, you cannot turn it off.
It is suggested that you review the information in the Getting Started Guide before continuing. Prior to
setting up time blocks for bolus advice, it is recommended that you decide how many time blocks you
need and also determine the start/end times. Talk to your healthcare professional about arranging your
time blocks to help best manage your diabetes. For each time block, you can set up different blood glucose
target ranges, carb ratios, and insulin sensitivities to accommodate your differing insulin needs throughout
the day.
WARNING
• Bolus advice should be used only if you are using U100, rapid-acting insulin for bolus dosing.
• Do not use bolus advice with Neutral Protamine Hagedorn (NPH) or any other intermediate-acting
insulin.
• Do not use bolus advice if basal insulin dose is unstable.
• Long-acting insulin should not be used as a meal bolus or as a correction bolus.
