Duration of Insulin Action
The Duration of Insulin Action is the length of time that insulin stays active in
your body. The Bolus Calculator uses this setting to determine how much insulin
remains in your body from previous boluses (called insulin on board or IOB).
1. Tap the Duration of Insulin Action field and use the scroll wheel to specify
your Duration of Insulin Action.
2. Tap NEXT.
Other Bolus Settings
The remaining bolus settings are used whether the Bolus Calculator is on or off.
Maximum Bolus
The PDM will not let you request a bolus above the Maximum Bolus setting.
You will see a message if the Bolus Calculator calculates a bolus that is above this
amount.
1. Tap the Max Bolus field and use the number pad to specify your Maximum
Bolus. Tap the tick symbol to close the number pad.
2. Tap NEXT.

Extending a bolus means that a meal bolus can be delivered over a prolonged
period of time. For a description of the extended bolus feature, see page 143.
1. Toggle the Extended Bolus button to turn the extended bolus feature on or
off.
2. Tap COMPLETE.
