Understanding Insulin Delivery and Calculations23
Total Bolus =
7 U
The Total Bolus is the sum
of the calculated bolus
and any adjustments you
made.
Example 2
Eating 30 g carbs, no meal or correction IOB. Used CGM value of 180 mg/dL,
with rising trend.
Correction Bolus
1.2 U
Your glucose value is
180 mg/dL which is 50 mg/
dL over your target. Because
your correction factor is 50,
the initial correction bolus
is 1 U.
CGM = 170, Target BG = 130
Correction Factor = 50
(180-130) / 50 = 1 U
Meal IOB adjustment
Meal IOB = 0 U
1 U – 0 U = 1 U
The Bolus Calculator does
not adjust your correction
bolus by the meal IOB since
there is no meal IOB.
Correction IOB adjustment
Correction IOB = 0 U
1 U - 0 U = 1 U
Adjusted correction bolus = 1.2 U
Adjusted for CGM: Rising
The Bolus Calculator also
does not adjust your
correction bolus by the
correction IOB since there is
no correction IOB.
The correction bolus is
increased to account for
your rising CGM trend.
Meal Bolus
3.6 U
You are eating 30 g carbs.
With your IC ratio at 10, you
will need a 3 U meal bolus.
The Bolus Calculator does
not adjust your meal bolus
by the correction IOB since
there is no correction IOB.
Carbs = 30 g, IC Ratio = 10 g/U
30 / 10 = 3 U
