8 Delivering a Bolus with the Bolus Calculator
Note: Consult your healthcare provider about how to calculate the grams of
carbs.
Tip: To look up carbs in the Food Library, tap FOOD LIBRARY and select the
food for your meal (see "9.1. About the Food Library" on page 102).
Note: Even though the Food Library may list grams of ber in addition to
grams of carbs, the Bolus Calculator does not subtract ber from the carb
value. Consult your healthcare provider about whether you should make an
adjustment for ber.
3. Review the suggested meal bolus, which is shown below the grams of carbs.
4. Optionally, tap CALCULATIONS to see the details of the bolus calculations.
8.3. Entering a Blood Glucose Reading or Using a CGM
Value
e Bolus Calculator uses your glucose information to calculate a correction
portion of your bolus. e following sections describe how to give the Bolus
Calculator your glucose information by either manually entering a BG reading or
by obtaining and using the current CGM value.
Note: e Bolus Calculator can generate a suggested bolus dose based on the
carbohydrates in a meal, BG reading, and the CGM value with trend. Entering
a recent blood glucose reading or using a CGM value with trend can help with
safety and accuracy.
Manually enter your blood glucose reading
To enter a blood glucose reading:
1. Tap the BG eld.
If you have manually entered a BG reading within the past 10 minutes, that
value automatically appears in the BG eld. If you want the Bolus Calculator
to use that value, skip the next step.
2. Tap the box in the circle and enter the blood glucose reading. Alternatively,
slide the indicator along the circle to enter the blood glucose reading.
Note: While the Bolus Calculator will use any blood glucose value you enter
manually, you should only enter a blood glucose value that was taken within
the last 10 minutes.
For the meaning of the colors displayed on the Enter BG screen, see "How
Blood Glucose Readings are Displayed" on page 115.
Optional: To tag the blood glucose reading, tap ADD TAGS and tap a tag. Tap
again to deselect a tag. You can add up to four tags.
