Bolus Calculation
18.8.4 Correction Bolus After a Meal
After a meal, it is normal for your blood glucose level to increase
even if you delivered the correct meal bolus. The allowed
increase in the blood glucose level is called “meal rise”. After a
certain period of time, the so-called offset time, the blood
glucose level drops from the peak value until it reaches the target
level again. The period of time from the start of the blood glucose
increase until the blood glucose level returns to the target level is
defined as the acting time. During this time, a correction bolus is
only recommended if your blood glucose level exceeds the
allowed value after a meal. The allowed value depends on the
blood glucose target value and the “meal rise".
18.8.3 Subsequent Meal Boluses
If you intend to eat several meals or snacks within a short time
period, you should deliver a meal bolus for each meal.
