23.5. Bolus Calculator Examples
Example 1
Eating 50 g carbs, and 0.6 U meal IOB and 0.5 U correction IOB from previous
meal and correction boluses. CGM is not available and BG not entered.
Correction Bolus
-- U
BG = N/A, Target BG = N/A
Correction Factor = N/A
Meal IOB adjustment
Meal IOB = 0.6 U
N/A: No BG reading
The Bolus Calculator does
not adjust your correction
bolus by the meal IOB
since there is no BG
reading.
Correction IOB adjustment
Correction IOB = 0.5 U
N/A: No BG reading
The Bolus Calculator also
does not adjust your
correction bolus by the
correction IOB since there
is no BG reading.
Meal Bolus
5 U
Carbs = 50 g, IC Ratio = 10 g/U
50 / 10 = 5 U
You are eating 50 g carbs.
With your IC ratio at 10,
you will need a 5 U meal
bolus.
Correction IOB adjustment
IOB is subtracted from a bolus
only when BG is known.
Your meal bolus is not
adjusted by your IOB
when there is no BG or
CGM value.
Calculated Bolus
5 U
The calculated bolus is
just the meal bolus, since
there is no correction
bolus.
Your Adjustment
Meal bolus + 2U
2 U
You can make manual
adjustments to your bolus
by tapping on the Total
Bolus eld at the bottom
of the Bolus Calculator
screen.
