Target Range
Your bG results should be between the lower and upper values of the Target
Range as long as you are fasting (in the morning or before a meal). The target
bG will be calculated automatically as the average between the upper and
lower bG values.
Carb Ratio
The Carb (carbohydrate) Ratio defines how much insulin is needed to compen-
sate for a certain amount of carbohydrates.
Insulin Sensitivity
The Insulin Sensitivity (correction factor) shows how sensitive you are to a dose
of insulin. This is how much your bG drops in response to a certain amount of
insulin.
You can define all of these values separately for each Time Block. The Bolus
Advice calculation automatically takes these values into account for the time
of day.
