Your insulin pump is originally set with the meter option turned OFF. You can set up your pump to wirelessly receive your blood glucose (BG) reading from specifically linked BG meters. With the meter option turned on, you may add or delete up to three meter IDs. Programming your meter’s unique ID (the serial number on the back of it) links your insulin pump to the meter.

Note: Before linking your BG meter to your insulin pump:

  • Your insulin pump and BG meter must be within 4 feet (1.2 meters) of each other.
  • Be sure that your insulin pump is not delivering a bolus when you attempt to connect the meter.
