Meal Rise
After a meal, bG levels usually increase by a noticeable amount, even in people
without diabetes. Depending on the type of meal, your bG can reach a maximum
about an hour after your meal and return to its original level after another one
to two hours. This is a normal process, so Bolus Advice takes this into account
using Meal Rise.

The dotted line shows how your bG level typically changes after a meal bolus.
Bolus Advice tolerates an increased bG level within the Meal Rise range
(green) without calculating an extra correction bolus. Each time you tell Bolus
Advice that you have consumed more carbohydrates than the Snack Size, the
Meal Rise entry is added to the bG target value. How long the Meal Rise lasts
(the width of the green area) is determined by the Offset Time and the Acting
Time.
