Bolus Calculation

The bolus recommended by the bolus advice feature of the meter consists of two components: a

recommendation for a meal bolus that covers your food intake and a recommendation for a correction bolus

to adjust your blood glucose level if it is not within the target range. The correction bolus can be positive if

your current blood glucose level is above your target range or negative if it is below your target range.

Meal Bolus

A meal bolus is the amount of insulin that needs to be administered to cover the amount of carbohydrates you

are planning to eat. It is calculated as:

Meal Bolus = Carbohydrate Intake ×

Insulin

Carbohydrates

from carbohydrate ratio
