information regarding the management
of your diabetes. If you have further
questions regarding this information,
please contact your healthcare
professional for more guidance.

Basal Rate

1

Basal insulin is administered to
maintain target blood glucose levels
when not eating. You can conf igure up to
three basal programs with Equil, which
can help you adapt to different situations
(for example, workdays, weekends, and
sick days). Each basal program can be
configured with up 48 scheduled basal rate
changes within one day. However, if you
are new to using an insulin pump, you may
decide to only use one or two basal rates
during the day.

Active Insulin Time

2

The length of time that insulin

Equil® Patch Insu lin Pump System

2

remains active and available in your body
after a correction bolus. Quick acting U100
Insulin should be used in the pump.

3

Target Blood Glucose Level

Insulin pump therapy requires a
target blood glucose level. The purpose of
an insulin pump is to keep the patient’s
blood glucose within a target blood
glucose level range.

Insulin Sensitivity Factor

4

How much one unit of insulin can
decrease blood glucose level. This number
is used to calculate bolus injection
amounts.

Carbohydrate Ratio

5

The number of grams of
carbohydrates that can be covered or
disposed by 1 unit of insulin.

2.5 How to Use This Guide

We recommend that you read this
user guide thoroughly. Your healthcare
professional can help you understand the
usage in even greater detail.

Please read this user guide carefully
in the correct chapter order. In many cases
subsequent chapters refer to information
detailed in previous chapters.

Note

This user guide shows sample
screens only. Your personal
diabetes controller (PDA) screens
may be slightly different.

2.6 Getting Help

This user guide describes the insulin
pump system in great detail. However, you
should still consult with your healthcare
provider for guidance. New users should
consult a healthcare professional to help
with first time setup and training of the

well as your healthcare provider/doctor’s
phone number in case of emergency

2.8 Insulin Pump Precautions

The pump is used to administer
insulin for people with diabetes. If it is used
improperly, it could cause life-threatening
situations.

Before using the pump, please read

•

the user guide carefully. Patients must
be trained by a professional healthcare
provider and should only use the pump
after they have mastered the operation.

Your healthcare professional should

•

develop a custom insulin delivery scheme
made for you. Your healthcare professional
will adjust the settings and observe the
effectiveness, possibly monitoring your
blood glucose four times a day until the
therapy is stable.

You should keep in frequent contact

•

with your healthcare professional. Basic
pump adjustments should be made under
close supervision with a qualified person.

You should have suf ficient knowledge

•

of diabetes, and how to regulate your
blood glucose level using insulin delivery
and diet. You should understand the

Equil® Patch Insu lin Pump System

4

effects of hyper and hypoglycemia and
how to prevent these conditions.

If the pump fails to deliver your needed

•

insulin, immediately stop using the system
and consider using your emergency kit
to supplement insulin. Contact your
healthcare provider and/or MicroTech
support.

Please be sure to operate in strict

•

accordance with this instruction manual,
because failure to follow the instructions
can cause problems. The company will try
to assist, but does not bear the various
related legal obligations arising from
misuse.

This product can only be used to

administer U-100 insulin.

5 Basal Rate Adjustment

5.1 Understanding Basal Rate

Basal insulin is the pump’s way to
simulate the secretion of non-mealtime
insulin. Even if a non-diabetic person
fasts all day, there still is a small amount of
insulin secreted. The pump’s basal insulin
is used to simulate the micro-secretions of
insulin.

5.2 Base Basal Rate

We have already set up the base basal
rate in the Settings Wizard. The base basal
rate is the default basal rate for your basal
programs. In the next sec tions you will
learn to edit a basal program by modifying
the base basal rate in different time
periods.

5.3

Editing Basal Programs (List

Display)

In the Home Screen, press the basal
function button to enter the basal screen
shown in Figure 30. You will see three Basal
Program Tabs, a Basal Time Period List,

5.6 Temporary Basal Rate

Normally, your basal rate does
not require frequent changes, but in
certain circumstances you may want to
temporarily administer a different basal
rate to avoid low or high blood sugars.

1

You should consider to decrease
your basal rate if your physical activit y
decreases on non-work days, if you are
eating foods high in protein and fat, if
you are experiencing woman’s monthly
hormone changes, taking drugs, or have
postprandial hyperglycemia.

2

You should consider to increase your
basal rate: during strenuous exercise,
in periods of rapid weight loss, when in
abnormal environmental conditions (such
as hot tubs, saunas, etc.), or while drinking
alcohol.

6 Boluses

6.1 Understanding Boluses

Diabetics have elevated blood sugar
levels after meals, requiring bolus doses
of insulin to lower blood sugar levels. A
bolus refers to the amount of insulin that is
quickly infused before a meal.

Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats all
affect your blood glucose level differently
(Fig. 41). There are two types of boluses
that can be administered to handle
different types of food intake.
