Example 2: Blood glucose above target (high blood glucose) and no active insulin
The next day, Michael wakes up before school. Before eating the same breakfast, he tests his blood glucose with
his meter and finds it to be 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L), which is above his target of 120 mg/dL (6.6 mmol/L). His
blood glucose reading is automatically sent to his pump.
When prompted by the Bolus Wizard feature, he enters his carbohydrate amount of 60 grams in the ENTER FOOD
screen. Based on his settings, the pump will suggest that he take 6.0 units of insulin.
