Example 4: Blood glucose above target range with active insulin
Michael is at school and wants to eat a snack in the late morning. He tests his blood glucose with his
Paradigm Link meter and finds it to at 200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/L), which is above his High BG target of 120
mg/dL (6.7 mmol/L). He estimates that his snack contains 60 grams of carbohydrate, so he enters 60
into the pump when prompted by the Bolus Wizard feature. Based on his settings, and as a result of 1.5
units of active insulin, his pump will suggest that he take 4.5 units.

(correction)
-1.5 units (active insulin)= 2 - 1.5 = 0.5
= 4 + 0.5
= 4.5 units
estimate = 4.5 units
