Meal riseMeal rise
After a meal, blood sugar levels usually increase by a
noticeable amount, even in people without diabetes.
Depending on the type of meal, your blood sugar level can
reach a maximum about an hour after your meal and return
to its original level after another one to two hours. This is a
normal process and so the mySugr Bolus Calculator takes
this into account using “meal rise”.
The dotted line shows how your blood sugar level might
change after a carb bolus (Diagram 1). The mySugr Bolus
Calculator tolerates an increased blood sugar level within
the “meal rise range” (green) without calculating an extra
correction bolus. When you enter a carb amount the “meal
rise” setting is added to the blood sugar target value. How
long the meal rise lasts (the width of the green area) is
determined by the “oset time” and the “acting time”.
The currently allowed blood sugar value considers the
following factors:
The upper limit of the “target range” for your current
“time block”
Blood sugar values that were tolerated as a “meal rise” and
which have had a carb bolus that is still active (acting time)
The expected reduction of your blood sugar level due to
the eect of insulin during the “acting time” (the decrease
between the end of “oset time” and end of “acting time”)
Excursions beyond the “target value” that have had a
correction bolus that is still active (acting time)
