Dear ACCU-CHEK
™
Spirit insulin pump owner,
Thank you for choosing the ACCU-CHEK Spirit insulin pump.
This guide will help you to get the most from your ACCU-CHEK Spirit insulin
pump. Even if you have used an insulin pump before, it’s important that you
do these things before you use the ACCU-CHEK Spirit insulin pump:
̈ read this guide carefully
̈ work with your doctor or healthcare team to understand how to use
the pump
̈ test your blood glucose level often to find your personal settings and
to a
void getting the wrong dosage of insulin. (An ACCU-CHEK blood
glucose meter is one way to test blood glucose levels; talk to your
doctor or healthcare team to decide the best way for you.)
It’s a good idea to inform family members or friends about diabetes and pump
therapy so that they can help you in an emergency.
