Optimizing pump therapy

Square Wave and Dual Wave bolus

Square W

ave bolus delivers a bolus evenly over a period of time (30 minutes to 8 hours). This bolus can be

used for insulin delivery when you have eaten a long meal with extended snacking. It can also be useful if

you have delayed food digestion due to gastroparesis or meals high in fat. A Square Wave bolus can be

useful if a Normal bolus drops your blood glucose too rapidly. Since the Square Wave portion extends over

a period of time, the insulin is more likely to be available to match your individual needs.

NOTE: During delivery of a Square W

ave bolus, you will not be able to do the following pump functions:

change the max bolus amount, disable or deliver Dual and Square Wave boluses, rewind or do a fixed

prime, change the active insulin time, run a self-test, or access the User Settings menu. All other pump

functions are still available during the Square Wave bolus.

Dual Wave bolus delivers a combination of an immediate Normal bolus followed by a Square W

ave bolus.

The Square Wave portion is delivered evenly over a period of time. A Dual Wave bolus is useful for meals

with both rapidly and slowly absorbed carbohydrates. For example, a Dual Wave bolus would be

appropriate for fruit and crackers followed by pasta. The Dual Wave option meets both immediate and

extended insulin needs. A Dual Wave bolus is also useful for correcting elevated blood glucose before a

meal.
