Bolus insulin delivery types
This section provides information on the basic bolus insulin delivery types and instructions on using
the Express bolus feature for giving yourself a ‘Normal’ bolus insulin delivery.
A bolus insulin delivery is a dose of insulin given in addition to your base (basal) insulin to bring your
blood glucose down to your target range. A bolus insulin delivery can be used when:
➠ You are fasting and you notice an unexpected rise in your blood glucose.
➠ Before a meal or a snack and you want to prevent your blood glucose from rising above your target
range.
There are three bolus insulin delivery types: normal, Square Wave, and Dual Wave.The normal bolus
insulin delivery is described below. For information about Square Wave and Dual Wave boluses, see
Chapter 6, “Optimizing pump therapy.”)
Normal bolus
For this type of insulin delivery, all of the bolus insulin is given all at once (all of the insulin in the
dose is given at one time). Normal bolus deliveries can be used to cover an expected rise in your blood
glucose caused by eating a meal or snack, or to correct an unexpected rise in blood glucose.
During a Normal bolus, most pump features are disabled until after all the bolus insulin has been
delivered. The Suspend function and the STATUS screen, however, are always available.
The following instructions are for a Normal bolus when the Bolus Wizard feature is turned off.
