4.1 Understanding boluses
A bolus is the amount of insulin delivered (in addition to the basal
rate) to cover the intake of food and to correct high blood glucose
levels. The bolus type and amount is determined by your doctor
or healthcare team’s guidelines, your blood glucose level, your
food intake, your health condition, and your activity level.
Discuss the timing, the amount and type of bolus you need with
your doctor or healthcare team.
Your pump can deliver three types of bolus:
Standard Bolus fast delivery
Extended Bolus delivery over a programmed period
of time
Multiwave Bolus combines fast delivery with delivery
over a programmed period of time
4 Boluses and Temporary Basal Rates
