How do I take care of my pump?

1. Keep it secure: If your pump touches your skin, turn the buttons away from your body to reduce long term moisture exposure. Consider a waist pouch while exercising. 2. Gentle button pushing: When pushing the buttons on your pump, use the side or pad of your finger. Try to avoid sharp objects like keys or the tips of long or acrylic fingernails.

How do I set a Temporary Basal rate?

The Temporary (Temp) Basal rate feature for use in Manual Mode, lets you immediately increase or decrease your basal insulin for the period of time (duration) that you set. It is often used for exercise and sick days. A Temp Basal can be set in either Percent (delivers a percent of the current basal rate) or by Rate (delivers the amount that you enter).

Do I need to remove my Guardian™ sensor for an X-ray/CT scan/MRI?

Yes, it is recommended that you remove your sensor and transmitter to avoid any damage. Once the testing is complete, you can insert a new sensor.

Can I shower and swim with the sensor and transmitter?

After the transmitter and sensor are connected, they form a waterproof seal to a depth of 8 feet (2.4 meters) for up to 30 minutes. You can shower and swim without removing them. Sensor readings may not be transmitted from the sensor to the pump while in water.

Proactive Prescription Program

Most prescriptions are valid for one year and we work with your healthcare provider to get a new prescription if one is needed.
