Example 1: Blood glucose on target (normal blood glucose) and no active insulin
Michael awakens in the morning before school and his mother has breakfast waiting for him. Before he
begins eating, he tests his blood glucose with his meter and his blood glucose result of 120 mg/dL
(6.6 mmol/L) is automatically sent to his pump.
He estimates that his meal consists of 60 grams of carbohydrates. When prompted by the Bolus Wizard
feature, he enters this amount in the ENTER FOOD screen. Based on his Bolus Wizard feature settings,
the pump will suggest that he take 4.0 units of insulin.
Food estimate:
Carb grams ÷ Carb ratio = Units of insulin
60 g ÷ 15 g/u = 4 units
Correction estimate:
Correction is 0 because the current BG reading is within the BG Target range.
Total bolus estimate:
Food estimate + Correction estimate = Units of insulin
4 units + 0 units = 4 units
