Insulin sensitivity
Your insulin sensitivity is the amount your blood glucose level is reduced by one unit of insulin. This value (amount) is used to calculate a suggested bolus insulin dose to correct your blood glucose level when it is above your target range. Correcting your blood glucose brings it down to your target range. Since insulin sensitivity amount can change throughout the day, your pump lets you enter up to eight
(8)different insulin sensitivity settings. Your healthcare professional may have you enter only one or two insulin sensitivity settings when you first start using the Bolus Wizard feature. Record your settings in the “Bolus Wizard feature settings” table (see page 60).
Insulin sensitivity amounts are normally between 20 – 100 mg/dL (or 1.1 – 5.6 mmol/L). If your amount is outside this range, a warning message will appear on the screen.
1In the EDIT SETTINGS screen, select Sensitivity and press ACT.
2Enter the amount for the first insulin sensitivity setting and press ACT.
NOTE - The start time for your first insulin sensitivity is midnight (12:00A) and cannot be changed.
