Set reverse correction
1. To set reverse correction, use the Up/Down Controller 
buttons to choose On or Off, then press Next.
If you enter carbs and reverse corrections are On, the 
System will subtract insulin from the suggested meal 
bolus to compensate for a low blood glucose (below 
the BG target you set). With reverse corrections Off
the System will not subtract insulin from the sug-
gested meal bolus dose due to a low BG. Follow your 
healthcare provider’s recommendation to set 
reverse correction On or Off.
