Overview of the Bolus Calculator CALCULATIONS screen

The Bolus Calculator' s screen can be accessed by tapping VIEW BOLUS
CALCULATIONS from the Insulin & BG history screen or by tapping
CALCULATIONS from the Bolus Calculator screen.
Your current
blood glucose
reading and
Target BG
setting are listed
here.
The carbs in
your meal and
your IC Ratio are
listed here.
You need to scroll down to see the total bolus and any adjustments you may have
made to the calculated bolus.
The blood glucose units on the Calculations screen are mmol/L.
Note: IOB adjustments are only made if you have entered a blood glucose
reading.
Remaining correction IOB
A calculated bolus amount can never be less than zero. If a correction IOB
is greater than the preliminary correction bolus, subtracting only part of the
correction IOB from the preliminary bolus brings the correction bolus to zero.
The "remaining correction IOB" is the amount of the correction IOB that was not
needed to bring the preliminary correction bolus to zero. This remaining amount
is then used to reduce the meal bolus, if there is a meal bolus.
Your Correction Factor
setting is listed here.
A correction bolus is
adjusted for meal IOB
first...
... then for correction IOB.
Correction IOB is
subtracted from the
correction bolus first...
... and any remaining
correction IOB is
subtracted from the
meal bolus.
