Snack Size
The Snack Size defines a certain amount of carbohydrates for which a meal
bolus is calculated, but no Meal Rise is triggered. No bG level above the Target
Range or currently allowed bG is tolerated for this amount of carbohydrates, so
Bolus Advice will calculate a correction bolus for any increase in bG after a
snack.
Acting Time
The Acting Time is the time for which the insulin delivered as a bolus is still
effective. It is the whole time for which an increase in bG after a meal bolus or
a correction bolus is taken into account. Bolus Advice will not recommend a
correction bolus for this time if your current bG level is less than the bG level
covered by the previous bolus (Meal Rise or a corrected high bG).
To choose the correct value for the Acting Time, you and your healthcare
professional should think about the following:
·
Whether you use rapid-acting insulin analogue or fast-acting regular human
insulin (the Acting Time should be longer for regular insulin)
·
Your average bolus amount (the larger your average bolus amount, the longer
the Acting Time should be)
You can program the Acting Time from 1½ to 8 hours.
