Basal and Bolus

GETTING FREEDOM

Understanding Basal and Bolus.

The MiniMed® Veo™ insulin pump allows
you to set multiple basal rates. The basal
insulin is delivered throughout the day
and night to cover your insulin needs
between meals and at night. When you
exercise, you can reduce the basal rate
so that your blood glucose (BG) does not
drop too low. When you are sick or have
an infection, you can increase the basal
rate. This will keep your BG from going
up too high.

The MiniMed® Veo™ pump allows
you to give a bolus, or dose of insulin
on demand when you eat. You can
also increase or decrease your meal
bolus based on the foods you choose
to eat. A bolus may also be used to
lower an elevated BG. This is called a
correctionbolus.

Your healthcare professional will help
calculate these rates for you.

Medtronic Bolus Wizard™ Calculator

getting freedom

The Medtronic Bolus Wizard™ calculator
performs the calculations needed to manage
your insulin dosing and reduce the potential for
hypoglycaemia, by calculating the:

•

Correction Boluses when glucose is out of

target range.

•

Meal Boluses, if you are able to calculate your

carbohydrates.

Before using the Bolus Wizard™ calculator, you
must determine the following settings with your
diabetes care team:

•

Insulin-carbohydrate ratio (Carb Ratio). The

amount of carbohydrate covered by 1 unit of
insulin.

Note: You may have dierent ratios for dierent

meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) or dierent
timesof the day. This ratio may not apply during
physical exercise.

•

Insulin sensitivity factor (Ins Sensitivity).

This corresponds to the decrease in your blood
glucose when 1 unit of insulin is bolused.

Note: Your sensitivity to insulin may vary

throughout the day. This factor may not apply
during physical exercise.

•

Blood glucose targets (BG Target).

The high and low blood glucose values that are
used when calculating a Correction Bolus.

•

Active insulin duration (Active Ins Time).

How long the insulin will have a glucose
lowering eect in your body once it has been
bolused.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)

Continuous Glucose Monitoring provides better
insights of low and high glucose levels and gives
you more control of your diabetes with:

•

Continuous Glucose Readings provide
continuous visibility of your current glucose level
24 hours a day.

•

Trend Graphs covering 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours
give you a clearer picture of your glucose levels
over time, allowing you to identify personal
patterns.

•

Alerts - dierent types of alerts to provide
you with early warning, making it possible to
minimise oncoming low and high glucose levels.

Greater Understanding with CGM

Seeing the full picture of your glucose patterns
enables you to make therapy adjustments with
condence. When used with the Medtronic
MiniLink™ transmitter and glucose sensor, the
MiniMed® Veo™ insulin pump monitors glucose
24 hours a day, with readings updated every ve
minutes (up to 288 readings per day) for up to six
days. You can see how the glucose is trending at
all times.

Note: If you have any questions or concerns, please

consult your healthcare professional before making
any therapy changes.

Low Glucose Suspend

Purpose

•

The Low Glucose Suspend (LGS) is a
feature designed to help reduce the risk
of severe hypoglycaemia. If the feature is
turned on, it automatically alarms and halts
insulin infusion when glucose levels reach a
pre-determined threshold.

•

Without patient intervention, after a 2 hour
suspension, the pump resumes basal insulin
delivery.

•

If sensor detects that glucose remains low
4 hours after resuming insulin delivery, the
pump will re-suspend insulin delivery.

•

May be useful for people with hypoglycaemic
unawareness or nocturnal hypoglycaemia.

•

This feature will not prevent hypoglycaemia.

Please note:

•

Do not change the Sensor Graph timeout
setting to “NONE.”

•

If you are using the Low Glucose Suspend
feature and have changed the Sensor Graph
timeout setting to “NONE,” please follow the

Medtronic Diabetes Continuous
Glucose Monitoring

Indications for use The CGM System is intended
to continuously record interstitial glucose levels in
persons with diabetes mellitus. This information is
intended to supplement, not replace, blood glucose
information obtained using standard home glucose­monitoring devices. A confirmatory fingerstick is
required prior to treatment. This information collected
by CGM may be downloaded and displayed on a
computer and reviewed by you and your healthcare
professional. This information may allow identification
of patterns of glucose-level excursions above or below
the desired range, facilitating therapy adjustments that
may minimise these excursions. Contraindications
Successful operation of CGM requires adequate vision
and hearing. Use of CGM is not recommended for
patients whose impaired vision or hearing does not
allow full recognition of the monitor signals and
alarms, or who do not have a caregiver who can
perform this function for them.
