Using the Bolus Wizard feature 65
For more details about active insulin, see “Bolus Wizard feature specifications” on page 150.
CAUTION: The Bolus Wizard feature cannot correctly determine the active insulin in
your system after you have taken a manual injection of insulin. The
manual injection will not be recorded by the pump so your active insulin
amount will be read as too little. Usually, you must wait at least 8 hours
after an injection before using on your Bolus Wizard feature to calculate
your active insulin. The actual length of time you need to wait depends
on your active insulin setting in the Bolus Wizard feature. See “About
active insulin” on page 64 for more information.
