Example 4: Blood glucose above target (high blood glucose) with active insulin

Michael is at school and wants to eat a snack in the late morning. He tests his blood glucose with his meter

and finds it to be at 11.1 mmol/L (200 mg/dL), which is above his target of 6.6 mmol/L (120 mg/dL). He

estimates that his snack contains 60 grams of carbohydrate, so he enters 60 into the pump when prompted

by the Bolus Wizard feature. Based on his settings, and as a result of 1.5 units of active insulin, his pump

will suggest that he take 4.5 units.

Food estimate:

Bolus estimate = Food estimate + Correction estimate

Bolus estimate = 4 units + 0.5 units = 4.5 units

60 g

15 g/u

= 4 units

- Active insulin = 0.5 units

Correction estimate:

11.1 mmol/L - 6.6 mmol/L

2.2 mmol/L/u

- Active insulin = 0.5 units

200 mg/dL - 120 mg/dL

40 mg/dL/u

Active insulin: 1.5 units
