CSII: Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion.

DKA: See Diabetic Ketoacidosis.

Dawn phenomenon: A rise in the early morning blood glu-

cose level due to the activity of hormones in the body.

Diabetes: A disease resulting in the body not being able to

produce or properly use insulin. In Type 1 diabetes, the body

no longer produces insulin. In Type 2 diabetes, the body loses

the ability to properly use insulin.

Diabetes team: You are the captain of the team that includes

one or more of the following: your doctor, nurse educator,

nutritionist and support team.

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA): A serious condition that oc-

curs when there is not enough insulin to allow the glucose in

the blood to be used by the cells in your body for energy. The

cells begin to burn the body’s stored fat reserves for fuel. Ke-

tones are produced when fat is burned and these ketones

change the chemistry of the body. Ketones can be detected

using a blood or urine test. DKA can happen within a few

hours when there is not enough insulin available, and can

lead to unconsciousness and death.

Duration of insulin action: A certain amount of time insulin

is active and available in the body after it has been given by a

subcutaneous bolus. Talk with your healthcare provider to

help you determine your duration of insulin action through

blood glucose testing.

determine a “target range” for your blood glucose level.

Bolus: An insulin dose given at the time of a meal to match the

glucose from food eaten or to lower the blood glucose level

when it’s higher than the target range.

Cannula: A small, soft tube, inserted into the body, through

which insulin is delivered.

Cartridge: The container that holds the insulin. The Deltec

™

3mL Insulin Cartridge looks like a small syringe.

Combination Bolus: The combination bolus combines the

features of a regular meal bolus with an extended bolus. Part

of the bolus (which you specify) is delivered immediately, then

the rest of the bolus is delivered over an extended period

(which you also specify). The combination bolus can be used

when eating a meal that contains both rapidly and slowly

absorbed carbohydrates, such as pizza.

Correction Bolus: An insulin dose given to lower the blood

glucose level when it’s higher than the target range.

Correction bolus factor: This is a mathematical formula used

to calculate the amount of insulin you need to correct or lower

a high blood glucose. The formula takes into account your

current blood glucose, your target blood glucose, the amount

1 unit of insulin will lower your blood glucose and your du-

ration of insulin action. The calculation will recommend the

amount of insulin you need to lower your blood glucose to

target.
