Appendix B: Bolus Advice Calculations
In this section you will learn how Bolus Advice recommendations are calculated.
To make sure that the recommendations meet your needs, you must give the
Bolus Advice feature on your meter some extra information, as well as the
basic blood glucose (bG) and carbohydrate values. As a safety measure, Bolus
Advice will not work without this information.
Your healthcare professional will give you the information that you need for the
Bolus Advice feature.
Carbohydrate Units
Choosing how your carbohydrates will be measured is important. In this way,
Bolus Advice can give you an accurate result. You just select what carbohy-
drate units Bolus Advice will use to make its calculations. You can choose
between:
· Grams
· BE (
≈
12 g)
· KE (

· CC (
