Setting your Square Wave^® Bolus

Device: MiniMed™ 630G insulin pump (MMT-1715K)

A Square Wave bolus delivers a single bolus evenly over an extended period of time, from 30 minutes to 8 hours. You might use a Square Wave bolus if you have delayed food digestion due to gastroparesis or meals high in fat, when snacking over a period of time, or if a Normal bolus causes your blood sugar to drop too rapidly.

The Square Wave bolus delivery option is available only after you turn on the Square Wave feature.

To turn on or off the Square Wave feature:

1. Select Menu.

2. Select Insulin Settings.
