Meal Bolus
The following formula is used to calculate the bolus for meals:
Meal Bolus = Carbohydrate Intake ×
Insulin
Carbohydrates
from carbohydrate ratio
Currently Allowed Blood Glucose Value
The target range average value used in the calculation of the correction bolus, as shown below, changes with
the definition for the time blocks.
Consequently, the currently allowed blood glucose value is calculated as follows:
Blood Glucose Range Covered
by Correction Bolus
currently acting correction bolusesaccording to time block definition
∑
Currently Allowed
Blood Glucose Value
Target Range Mean Value

Meal Rise +
=
current
active meal
When no meal rise or correction bolus acting time is currently in effect, a value of “0” is substituted for these
parameters in the formula.
