Selecting the Carb units
The carb unit setting lets the pump know which way to count your carbohydrates (grams or exchanges). Any
time you make changes to the carb units, you must also reprogram the carb ratios. Refer to the Bolus Wizard
feature settings table in this chapter for your carb ratio settings.
