Bolus calculator settings

Device: MiniMed FlexTM insulin pump

The bolus calculator uses your individual Bolus calculator settings to calculate an estimated amount based on the blood glucose (BG) or sensor glucose (SG) values and carbs that you enter. Work with your healthcare professional to define your personal settings, which include your carb ratio, insulin sensitivity, BG target range, and active insulin time.

Please note that any settings shown on this page are for illustration purposes only. Your individual settings will vary. Always consult your healthcare professional before making any changes to your delivery settings.
