Using the Bolus Wizard feature 67

Carb units

The carb unit setting lets the pump know which way to count your carbohydrates (grams or
exchanges). See the “Bolus Wizard feature settings” table on page 60 for your carb ratio settings.
NOTE - Any time you make changes to the carb units, you must also reprogram the carb ratios.

Carb/Exch ratios

If you use grams as your carb units: Carb ratio is the number of carb grams that are covered by one
unit of insulin.
If you use exchanges as your carb units: Carb ratio is the number of insulin units that are needed to
cover one (1.0) carb exchange.
Because this ratio may vary throughout the day, your pump allows you to set up to eight (8) settings.
Your healthcare professional may only have you program one or two carb ratios when you first start
using the Bolus Wizard feature.
