G

Gastroparesis - A condition of

the digestive system that

slows down the emptying of

food from the stomach.

Glucagon - A hormone that

raises the level of glucose in

the blood. The alpha cells of

the pancreas make glucagon

when the body needs to put

more sugar into the blood.

Glucagon primarily causes

sugar stored in the liver to be

released into the blood

stream.

Glucagon Emergency Kit - An

injectable form of glucagon

that can be used to treat

severe low blood glucose

levels (hypoglycemia). A

Glucagon Emergency Kit can

be obtained in a pharmacy

with a prescription.

Glucose tablet - A simple sugar

in tablet form, that is taken

orally to treat low blood

glucose (hypoglycemia).

Glucose tablets can be

purchased from the Medtronic

Diabetes online store at

www.medtronicdiabetes.com

as well as drug stores and

pharmacies.

H

HbA1c - Glycosylated

hemoglobin

HDL - High-density lipoprotein A

complex of lipids and proteins

in approximately equal

amounts that functions as a

transporter of cholesterol in

the blood.

High Glucose

- The pump alerts

if the sensor indicates that

your sensor glucose

measurement is at or above

this value. You have the

option to turn this feature on

or off.

High Snooze - For the High

Glucose alert, allows you to

set the delay between the

first alert and any subsequent

alerts. This allows you to

avoid getting an alert every

five minutes until the

condition is corrected.

Hold - Press and continue to

press a pump button.

Hyperglycemia - A condition in

which blood glucose values

are elevated above target.

Symptoms may include

excessive thirst, frequent

urination, dry mouth,

headache, fatigue, and

blurred vision.

Hypoglycemia - A condition in

which blood glucose values

are low below 3.9 mmol/L (70

mg/dL). Symptoms may

include behavioral changes,

pale complexion, hunger,

sweating, sudden weakness,

headache, confusion,

drowsiness, non-

responsiveness to questions,

and the most serious: seizure,

convulsion or loss of

consciousness.

I

Idle - The pump is at the

HOME

screen.

Increment - A small increase or

decrease in a measurement.

Indication - A condition that

makes a specific medical

treatment or procedure

advisable or necessary.

Infusion set - Flexible tubing

with a reservoir connector

and an infusion site. This

tubing delivers insulin from

the pump to the body.

Infusion site - The end of the

infusion set held to the body

with a tape. It consists of a

cannula and an introducer

needle.

Insulin - A hormone that helps

the body use glucose (sugar)

for energy. The beta cells of

the pancreas make the

insulin.

Insulin sensitivity - The amount

by which your blood glucose

(BG) level is reduced by one

unit of insulin. (Bolus Wizard

feature data)

Insulin to carbohydrate ratio -

The amount of insulin

required to cover a given

number of carbohydrates.

This ratio helps you estimate
