Active Insulin: Insulin normally is absorbed in the body within about 4-6 hours. If
you have recently taken a bolus, there could be active insulin still in your body. The
Bolus Calculator automatically subtracts the amount of active based on your last
bolus and the Active Insulin Time you enter in the settings.
Correction Bolus is used to bring your current BG level to the target BG level:
Correction Bolus (U)
=
Current BG Level-Target BG Level (mg/dL or mmol/L)
Insulin Sensitivity Factor (mg/dL/U or mmol/L/U)
Note:
If Negative Correction is ON, a correction bolus is always calculated. If
Negative Correction is OFF, the correction bolus will only be calculated if
your current BG level is HIGHER than the target BG level.
Note:
The Bolus Calculator is disabled by default. Please enable this feature in the
Settings menu as described in Chapter
Boluses - Settings
.
Note:
The Bolus Calculator uses settings that are preset by the user. These settings
should be entered under the supervision of your healthcare professional.
