Example 1: Easy bolus

Alexander is a busy executive with an accounting firm. He wears his Paradigm pump on his belt and does

not want to take it off to give himself a bolus. Alexander can easily reach down and feel for the Easy

Bolus button

to give a bolus.

He previously programmed his pump to deliver an Easy Bolus in steps of 0.5 unit increments. From the

HOME screen, with each press of the

, the pump will sound a different tone so he can keep track of

the number of button presses.

He wants to give himself 2.0 units for a snack, so he will press

4 times (4 presses x 0.5 units/press =

2.0 units) and then press the ACT button. The pump counts back 4 beeps because he pressed

4 times. He simply presses ACT to confirm the amount, and his pump delivers the 2.0 units.

When Alexander wants to be more discreet, or does not want his pump to beep in an important meeting,

he can set the pump to Vibrate mode and feel for vibrations rather than listening for the tones. (See the

Setting your alert type section in the Utilities chapter for details.)

Your turn: Easy bolus practice

The factory default setting for the Easy Bolus feature is 0.1 unit steps. You can change the step level as

necessary to a value that is more convenient for you to use and easier to multiply.

Give your next bolus by using the Easy Bolus feature on your pump.

Your step level is ________.

How many units did you give? _______

How many tones did you count? _______

It might be a good idea to look at your pump's screen to see the bolus amount as well as counting the

steps the first few times you try this until you become familiar and comfortable with the feature.
