23.2. Immediate and Extended Boluses
A bolus is an extra dose of insulin that is delivered in addition to the continuous
basal rate of insulin delivery. Use boluses to bring down high blood glucose levels
and to cover the carbohydrates (carbs) in a meal.
You have the option of delivering the entire bolus at once. is is referred to as an
"immediate bolus" or, simply, a "bolus." In Manual Mode, you can spread out the
delivery of all or part of a meal bolus so that it is delivered steadily over a specied
period of time. is is referred to as an "extended bolus."
You may want to extend a bolus if your meal contains high-fat or high-protein
foods. ese foods slow down digestion and therefore slow down the post-meal
rise in your blood glucose.
