Bolus Calculation
18.8 Bolus Calculation
The bolus that is recommended by the bolus advice feature
consists of two components: a recommendation for a meal bolus
that covers your intake of food and a recommendation for a
correction bolus to adjust your blood glucose level. The
correction bolus may be positive if your current blood glucose
level is above your target range, or negative, if it falls below your
target range.
18.8.1 Meal Bolus
A meal bolus is the amount of insulin that needs to be delivered
to compensate for the amount of carbohydrates you are planning
to eat. It is calculated as follows:
Meal bolus = carbohydrate amount × carbohydrate ratio
The following applies here:
Carbohydrate ratio = insulin : carbohydrates
18.8.2 Correction Bolus
If your current blood glucose level is not within your target range,
a correction bolus is suggested.
