When the Bolus Calculator does not work

control whether the Bolus Calculator is turned on or off, but the PDM controls
when it is disabled.
If the Bolus Calculator is set to off, the PDM does not track IOB and does not
suggest a bolus.
If the Bolus Calculator is set to on, the PDM may disable it in a few situations.
Being disabled means that the Bolus Calculator is temporarily unable to calculate
a suggested bolus.
