If no correction insulin is taken, continue to tap the down arrow button past 1 to
set no correction insulin. If you set no correction insulin, the calculator will ONLY
include a meal dose, not a correction dose. Additionally, if no correction insulin is
set, active insulin is not tracked or calculated.

the suggested dose.
