If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, you may feel overwhelmed by all the new information you have learned and will continue to learn about managing your diabetes. You already know your main goal should be to get your blood glucose (sugar) levels under control in order to increase your chances of a complication-free life.  Many people know this, but need to know how to achieve good diabetes management, while balancing the day-to-day demands of diabetes with other life demands.

An insulin pump can help you manage your diabetes. By using an insulin pump, you can match your insulin to your lifestyle, rather than getting an insulin injection and matching your life to how the insulin is working. When you work closely with your diabetes care team, insulin pumps can help you keep your blood glucose levels within your target ranges.  People of all ages with type 1 diabetes use insulin pumps and people with type 2 diabetes have started to use them as well.

Features for Fine-Tuned Control: Basal Insulin Delivery

Precision Basal Dosing

At 0.025 U/hr, it’s the smallest increment available for more precise basal dosing compared to pumps that only go as low as 0.05 U/hr.

Personalized settings

Program four different sets of basal rate profiles for different insulin needs and name them accordingly (i.e., "weekend" or "karate").

Features for Fine-Tuned Control: Bolus Insulin Delivery

Precision bolus dosing

No insulin pump has a lower bolus increment than ours—0.05 U, to help precisely match insulin with food intake and to correct a high blood glucose readings.

ezCarb

Both our pump and meter-remote can calculate a bolus amount to cover the carbs in the food you’ve eaten. For precise calculating, the meter-remote can store a customized list of 500 of your favorite foods from the CalorieKing^® food database.

ezBG

Both our pump and meter-remote can automatically calculate a correction dose of insulin based on your latest blood glucose reading.

"Insulin on Board"

Keeps track of bolus insulin that has been delivered and is still active in your body. This helps prevent hypoglycemia due to "stacking" (taking additional insulin unnecessarily).

Bolus delivery options

• Normal bolus: Calculate the amount and deliver it all at once within seconds.
• Combo bolus: Calculate the amount and split it, so some is delivered right away (normal bolus)
  and the rest is delivered over time (extended bolus) to cover high-fat meals or "grazing".

Features that Keep Things Discreet and Convenient

Remote Capabilities

Blood glucose results, bolus calculations and bolus instructions can be delivered from the meter-remote to the insulin pump, from up to approximately 10 feet away. No need to pull out your pump. The pump can stay clipped to your belt, tucked in your pocket or stashed under your clothes.

Extended Battery Life

Our pump uses a lithium battery, which lasts 4 to 6 weeks, requiring fewer battery changes than an alkaline battery. Of course, you have the option to use an alkaline battery if you want.

Fast facts

View on-screen summaries of your blood glucose results over time in the meter-remote like an electronic logbook.

Features that Give You Extra Confidence

Our pump is compatible with all insulin infusion sets using standard Luer lock connectors, so you’re free to find the one that fits you best.
