However, at 2 o’clock, if Bolus Advice took only your current bG value into
consideration, it would ignore the ongoing effect of your correction bolus.
It would then recommend an additional bolus to compensate for the raised
bG value. Where the effect of the two boluses overlap it could lead to a hypo-
glycemia (red line), because you would have had two boluses for the same
blood-sugar excursion.
Therefore, Bolus Advice always compares your bG result with the currently
allowed bG value, and not just with the target value for the current Time Block.
