Using the Bolus Wizard™ calculator to deliver a Normal Bolus


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

A Normal bolus provides a single immediate dose of insulin. You can use a Normal bolus to cover food intake or to correct a high BG meter reading. You cannot access the Reservoir & Tubing, Insulin Settings, or Sensor Setting menu during a Normal bolus delivery.

To give a Normal Bolus:

1. For a correction bolus or a food bolus with a correction, use your BG meter to check your blood glucose. For a food bolus only, skip this step.

2. From the Home screen, select Bolus and then Bolus Wizard. The Bolus Wizard screen shows your current BG meter reading and any insulin that is still active from previous boluses.

4. For a food bolus, select Carbs to enter the carb count of your meal. For a correction bolus where no food was eaten, leave the Carbs value at 0.

5. Your calculated bolus appears in the Bolus field.
