BG reminder
When you deliver a bolus you may want to check your blood glucose afterwards. The BG reminder is an optional feature that you can use to have the pump send you a reminder you to check your blood glucose after a bolus. You can set the pump to remind you with an audible ‘beep’ or by vibrating. Your pump is set at the factory with this feature turned off. If the BG reminder feature is turned on when you are programming your pump, you will be asked to set the amount of time between the bolus insulin delivery and the reminder. This amount of time is called the ‘BG Reminder Duration.’ The amount of time you set can be from 30 minutes to 5 hours, or NONE. If you do not want to use the BG Reminder at all, set the option to off (BG Reminder is not available after an Easy Bolus).
1Go to the BG REMINDER SETUP screen.
Main > Bolus > BG Reminder
2Select On and press ACT. The BG reminder feature is now enabled (turned on). Exit the menus.
