How much insulin is still active in the body from any previous boluses?
Insulin on board is the amount of bolus insulin which is still active in the body from
previous boluses. The more time has passed since the last boluses, the lower
the amount of insulin still active in the body.
The bolus calculator takes the insulin on
board into account by reducing correction
bolus and meal bolus by this amount.
