As a safety feature, the correction bolus is always
delivered first and cannot be extended. Only the
meal bolus can be extended. For example:
Total bolus = 5 units
correction bolus
1 unit
meal bolus
4 units
Deliver now = 2 units
correction bolus
1 unit
meal bolus
1 unit
Extend = 3 units
meal portion
3 units
As a safety feature, you cannot deliver two extended
boluses at the same time. You can, however, cancel
the first extended bolus and replace it with another
(see “Replace an Extended Bolus” on page 36). You
can deliver a normal bolus while an extended bolus is
being delivered.
