Other Boluses
Subsequent Meal Boluses
If you are planning to eat several meals or snacks in a short period of time, you should administer a meal
bolus for each meal. The calculation is always the same as a meal bolus.
Correction Bolus After a Meal
After a meal, it is normal to allow for a rise of your blood glucose level even if you administered the correct
meal bolus. The allowed blood glucose level rise is called meal rise. After a certain period of time (offset time)
the meal rise decreases from its maximum until your blood glucose level has returned to the target level. The
period of time from the start of the meal rise until your blood glucose level returns to the target level is
defined as acting time. During this time, a correction bolus is only recommended if your blood glucose level
exceeds the current meal rise level.
