Section 1 I Getting Started

1.1 Pump Mechanics and the Delivery of Insulin

Before we begin, let’s make sure you know how insulin is delivered when using an insulin pump� The parts that make up the pump’s delivery system are the infusion set, the reservoir, and the pump�

1.1.1 Infusion Set

The infusion set consists of tubing (1) that carries insulin from the pump to you� On one end of the tubing is the reservoir connector (2) that attaches to the reservoir which holds the insulin� On the other end is the insertion site section (3) that attaches to you�

The insertion site section has a small insertion needle that places a tiny ﬂexible tube called a cannula (4) into your body**� Once the infusion set is inserted, you remove the needle, leaving just the cannula behind� A small piece of adhesive (5) holds the infusion set in place�

3

1.1.2 Reservoir

The reservoir is similar to a syringe and holds 2- to 3-days supply of insulin� The reservoir ﬁts into the pump’s reservoir compartment (6)� You will be replacing both the infusion

set and the reservoir every 2 to 3 days.

1.1.3 Pump

Inside the pump, at the bottom of the reservoir compartment, is a piston� The piston acts like the plunger rod on a syringe, pushing up on the bottom of the reservoir, moving insulin into the tubing, through the cannula, and into your body�

The piston is controlled by a mini computer inside the pump that’s able to deliver insulin in very small doses, sometimes as small as 0�025 units� It must be rewound each time a newly ﬁlled reservoir is placed into the reservoir compartment�

*Medtronic Quick-set™ infusion set shown in illustration.

**Some infusion sets do not use a cannula but have a small needle that remains inserted in the body.

Section 1 I Getting Started

1.9 Basal Patterns

Remember, your body needs insulin so glucose can be moved into your cells providing energy for your body� Insulin is needed 24 hours a day, even between meals and during the night� This is called basal insulin� The pump supplies basal insulin by delivering small amounts throughout each hour, every hour of the day and night� This allows for insulin to be increased and decreased to adjust for your body’s needs�

U/hr

00:00

Basal insulin amounts must be programmed into your pump� This is done by setting a basal pattern� A basal pattern consists of one or more basal rates being delivered over the course of 24 hours�

24 Hours

24:00

Before her pump....

Lynn always had to remember to take her injection of long-acting insulin at bedtime� Taking it at the same time every night like her doctor asked her to was diﬃcult� She is at university and some nights she would go to bed early, others she would be at the library until late studying� Now with her pump, she doesn’t have to worry about taking an injection� She is getting her basal insulin automatically 24 hours a day�

1.9.1 Basal Pattern Setup – One Basal Rate

Your healthcare professional will calculate the hourly basal rate or rates are best for you to use when you start on your pump� You may simply start with a basal pattern that has only one basal rate� The pump will deliver that exact basal amount evenly over each hour, 24 hours a day�

For example, if your starting basal rate is 1�0 unit, your pump would deliver one unit of insulin throughout each hour� This means you would receive a total of 24 units of basal insulin every 24 hours�

To set your Basal Patterns, you will need to go to the Insulin Settings menu option and then to Basal Pattern Setup� There are two ways to access Insulin Settings:

1) From the Home screen, select Basal and press to Insulin Settings

OR

2) Press and press to Insulin Settings

18

Section 1 I Getting Started

Let’s Practice: Setting a Basal Pattern with one Basal Rate

Let’s set a Basal pattern with a basal rate of 0�75 U/hr from 00:00 - 24:00

1) From the Home screen, select Basal.

2) Press to Insulin Settings and press �

3) Press to Basal Pattern Setup and press �

4) Select Basal 1.

5) Currently, the pump is delivering 0�000 U/hr� Select Options.

6) Select Edit.

7) Press

ﬂashing� Since you are setting only one basal rate for all 24 hours, the End time does not need to be changed�

8) Press

9) Press

10) Select Done.

11) Verify that Basal 1

is entered correctly�

If NO changes need to be made:

12) Select Save.

If changes need to be made:

20

Section 1 I Getting Started

1.9.3 Basal Pattern Setup – Multiple Basal Rates

After you start using your insulin pump, your glucose readings will help you and your healthcare professional determine if your basal pattern needs to be changed� Not only might you need to increase or decrease your current rate, you may also need to add basal rates to give you diﬀerent amounts of basal insulin during certain parts of the day or night�

Having more than one basal rate....

When Jessica was taking insulin injections, her BG readings were always high in the morning� If she increased her nighttime insulin, then she would have low BGs later in the day� Now that she has her pump, it is set to deliver more insulin in the early morning so her BGs aren’t high when she wakes up, and less insulin later in the day when she doesn’t need as much�

Helpful hint: Most people need more than one basal rate to get the best control with their pump� Work with your healthcare professional to get your basal rates adjusted correctly when you start on pump therapy�

For example, your healthcare professional has reviewed your BG readings and has determined that this basal rate works well part of the day, but that you need a lower basal rate, 0�650 U/hr, between the hours of 08:00 and 18:00�

Your basal pattern would look like this:

1.000

0.500

U/hr

00:00 06:00

00:00 – 08:00

0.900 U/hr 0.900 U/hr

08:00 – 18:00

0.650 U/hr

12:00 18:00

24 Hours

18:00 – 00:00

24:00

Now, let’s make the changes to your basal pattern�

1.10 Bolus Wizard™ Calculator

Calculating how much bolus insulin to give can be challenging� When using the Bolus Wizard™, all you will need to do is enter your current BG reading along with the amount of carbs you are about to eat�

Once you do this, the Bolus Wizard™ uses the individual settings provided by your health care professional to estimate your bolus amount� Because these settings are speciﬁc to you, you can rely on it to calculate the precise amount of bolus insulin you need for your food and BG� This can help you better control your glucose levels (refer to page 69 for details on setting up the Bolus Wizard™)�

1.10.1 Using the Bolus Wizard™ Calculator

Here you can see the Bolus Wizard™ calculation screen and a short description of the steps below:

If you have tested your glucose using your compatible Bayer® meter, the BG and correction dose will already be showing�

uu

You will ﬁrst test and enter

your current BG�

You will learn more about using the Bolus Wizard™ at your in-person training� There, your trainer will help you program your individual settings and have you practice giving boluses using this feature�

Using the Bolus Wizard™....

Larry is so excited that his insulin pump has made his glucose management easier� Before his pump he had to try to calculate on his own how much insulin he needed� Now, his meter sends his BG to his pump, he enters his carbs, and the pump delivers the bolus�

Helpful hint: After you begin pump therapy, testing your BG two hours after meals will help you determine if your Bolus Wizard™ settings are correct� If your BG is too high or too low, your healthcare professional can help you adjust your set tings to help you achieve better glucose control�

You will then enter grams of

carbohydrates to be eaten�

The pump displays

estimated amount of insulin

to be delivered�

25

6.6 Advanced Bolus

The practice boluses that were given earlier were delivered as Normal boluses; that is, as a single immediate dose of insulin� This is the type of bolus you would typically use to cover normal food intake and to correct a high BG�

The pump also lets you deliver bolus insulin as a Dual Wave or Square Wave bolus� These can help better match the eﬀects food has on your glucose levels�

X

Turning Dual and Square Wave Bolus On

To use either of these bolus options, it must ﬁrst be turned on�

1) Press �

2) Select Insulin Settings.

3) Select Dual/Square Wave.

4) Select Dual Wave to turn On if desired�

5) Select Square Wave to turn On if desired�

6) Select Save.

6.6.1 Square Wave

A Square Wave bolus delivers a bolus over an extended period of time� This can be helpful:

• to match delayed food digestion due to

gastroparesis�

• for meals very low in carbohydrate but high in fat�

• when snacking on small amounts of carb

over period of time, for example, at a reception�

When setting a Square Wave bolus, you will need to determine the duration that you want the bolus to deliver (30 minutes to 8 hours in 30 minute increments)� This will vary depending on you individually, as well as the situation for which the Square Wave bolus is being used� Frequent glucose testing should be done until you and your healthcare professional have determined the best use for you�

You will be unable to deliver a Square bolus if the Bolus Wizard has estimated a bolus for a high BG, since that insulin is needed right away.

Section 6 I Additional Features

Using a Square Wave Bolus...

Sarah eats at her desk at work and it takes her a while to ﬁnish because she often gets distracted� She delivers her lunch bolus as a Square Wave over 45 minutes to help make sure her insulin doesn’t start to work before her carbs are digested�

• select Bolus Menu to deliver a normal bolus while the

square is delivering�

to return to Home screen�

6.6.2 Dual Wave

A Dual Wave bolus combines the Normal and the Square Wave bolus� It delivers part of the bolus as a Normal Bolus (Now) and part as a Square (over time)�

A Dual Wave bolus can be helpful for meals high in both carbs and fat� Fat delays the digestion of carbs, meaning glucose doesn’t enter bloodstream right away� Giving some insulin as a normal bolus covers any immediate glucose rise� Giving the rest over time as a square helps to match the delayed glucose rise�

When setting a Dual Wave bolus, you will need to determine:

• the percentage / amount of insulin you want

delivered immediately and how much over time�

• the duration of time over which you want the square

portion delivered�

This will vary depending on you individually, as well as the types of foods that are in the meal for which the Dual Wave bolus is being used� Frequent glucose testing should be done until you and your healthcare professional have determined the best use for you�

6.6.3 Bolus Increment

The Bolus Increment determines the number of decimal places a bolus will be set or calculated� You will notice the bolus increment:

• in the amount that a bolus is increased or decreased with each button press when setting

a Manual or Preset Bolus (this does not apply to Easy Bolus)�

• on the Bolus Wizard details screen in the number of decimal points used to calculate the bolus�

This feature may be beneﬁcial if you:

• are giving manual boluses for meals�

• want to be discreet when bolusing�

• want to conﬁrm a bolus amount using beep or vibrate�

Before using the Easy Bolus, you must turn the feature On and select the increment� The increment is the amount that each press of the button represents� It will be important that you remember what this increment is - it will determine how much bolus you are giving� For example, if the increment is set at 0�5u, and you need a 3�0 unit bolus, you will need to press 6 times to get to 3�0 units�

Section 6 I Additional Features

6.8 Auto Suspend

Auto Suspend is a safety feature that sounds an alarm and stops all insulin delivery if you do not press any buttons for the number of hours that you set� It is meant for situations when you are not responding to hypoglycaemia�

Auto Suspend is most useful if you live or travel alone� It is important to use if you have diﬃculty responding appropriately to lows, have hypoglycaemia unawareness, if you are susceptible to lows due to alcohol intake, or have a history or fear of lows at night�

Auto Suspend should be set based on your schedule� Let’s say you typically go to bed about 23:00� At about 22:00 each evening you do a BG check and check your pump (buttons would be pressed)� You usually get up at 07:00 and eat breakfast around 08:00 What happens if:

• Auto Suspend is set for 8 hours: Alarm would go oﬀ at 06:00 if no buttons had been pressed� Since you don’t get up until 07:00, this could be a nuisance�

• Auto Suspend is set for 12 hours: Alarm would go oﬀ at 10:00 if no buttons had been

pressed� You should have been up by now and given a bolus� If in a dangerous situation, receiving this alarm and stopping insulin could be very helpful�

• Auto Suspend is set for 18 hours: Alarm would go oﬀ at 16:00 if no buttons have been

pressed� You should have been up and given bolus several hours ago� If in a dangerous situation, you may want to be alarmed and have delivery stopped sooner�

Choose the number of hours that seems right for you�
