ment if you can not skip a meal without hypo-
glycemia.
Review the bolus amount in the bolus history
and re-evaluate. Consult your health care team
for adjustment of your insulin/carbohydrate
ratio if necessary.
Re-evaluate the percentage of basal adjustment
for the level of activity. Consult your health care
team.
