How to check blood glucose
and deliver a bolus.
A bolus is an extra dose of insulin that helps manage the rapid natural rise in blood
glucose (also known as blood sugar) that results when you eat carbohydrates. Follow
the steps below to check the individual’s blood glucose level, determine the appropriate
bolus and deliver the bolus. These steps assume that the suggested bolus calculator has
been turned on as part of the individual’s Diabetes Management Plan.
Because an individual’s food intake may be unpredictable, consult the individual’s
Diabetes Management Plan or healthcare provider to determine the appropriate timing
of insulin delivery.
Check the individual’s blood glucose frequently. Notify their healthcare provider if the
blood glucose test results are outside the goals that the healthcare provider has set or if
you observe symptoms that are not consistent with their blood glucose test results.
> Insert FreeStyle® test strip into strip port.
> Check that the code on the vial of test strips
matches the code on the PDM screen.
> If the codes do not match, use the Up/down
controller button to match the code on the PDM
to the code on the vial.
