Emergency kit

Keep an emergency kit with you at all times to make sure that you always have necessary supplies. Inform a family member, co-worker, and/or friend where this emergency kit is kept. Please refer to “User safety” on page 7 for more information on pump safety. Your emergency kit should include these items:

➠Fast-acting glucose tablets

➠Blood glucose monitoring supplies

➠Urine ketone monitoring supplies

➠Extra Paradigm infusion set and Paradigm reservoir

➠Insulin syringe and fast-acting insulin (with dosage instructions from your healthcare professional)

➠Paradigm Quick Reference Card

➠Dressing and adhesive

➠Glucagon Emergency Kit®

➠Extra AAA alkaline batteries (Energizer® brand is recommended)

CAUTION: If you give yourself insulin by using a syringe, the Bolus Wizard feature will not be able to correctly determine the active insulin in your body. Usually, you need to wait at least 8 hours after an injection before using the Bolus Wizard feature to calculate your active insulin. The actual amount of time you need to wait depends on your active insulin setting (see “About active insulin” on page 64 for more information).
