Setting your Dual Wave™ bolus
Device: MiniMed™ 630G insulin pump (MMT-1715K)
A Dual Wave Bolus delivers a combination of an immediate Normal bolus followed by a Square Wave bolus. You might use a Dual Wave bolus when you eat meals that are high in both carbs and fat which may delay digestion, or when your meal bolus is combined with a correction bolus for a high BG.
The Dual Wave bolus delivery option is available only after you turn on the Dual Wave feature.
