Bolus advice without entering blood sugar valueBolus advice without entering blood sugar value
It is possible to receive bolus advice without entering a
current blood sugar value. The recommended bolus amount
will only reflect the insulin required for the meal or carbs
you enter.
Note: Using a blood sugar result will ensure the most
accurate bolus advice recommendation.
Bolus advice with hypo blood sugar resultBolus advice with hypo blood sugar result
If your blood sugar is below your set hypo limit, an insulin
recommendation will not be provided. Instead, you will
receive a recommendation to eat a calculated amount of
carbs in order to raise your blood sugar into your target
range. For accuracy, please record the amount of carbs you
will actually consume in your log entry.
Negative correction insulinNegative correction insulin
When your blood sugar value is above your hypo limit and
below the lower boundary of your target range, the mySugr
Bolus Calculator may calculate a negative correction insulin.
This negative value is accounted for in the meal correction if
you are planning to eat.

It is possible that the recommendation doesn’t suit your
therapy habits or the way you currently feel. This is the
reason why you are always able to dismiss or accept a
recommendation, keeping you in control of your therapy
and ensuring that your mySugr Logbook is as accurate as
possible.
Typically, the calculation result is:
an insulin dose, when your blood sugar is too high—the
result field is coloured turquoise (Figures 10a and 10b)
a carb intake, when a hypo (low blood sugar) is likely to
occur without additional carbs. In this case - the result
field is coloured yellow (Figures 11a and 11b)
To confirm or dismiss your recommendation:
Select the “Accept” button if you agree with the
suggested result. The calculated values will automatically
split into the “Insulin (Food)” and “Insulin (Corr.)” lines,
based on the provided entries (blood sugar level and / or
carbs). If you want to adjust the insulin amounts after
selecting the “Accept” button, you can edit them manually
(Figures 10b and 11b).
Select the “Dismiss” button if you feel that the
recommendation doesn’t fit your current state or your
therapy habits. This action will simply close the mySugr
Bolus Calculator section so you can add your insulin values
manually in the “Insulin (food)” and “Insulin (corr.)” lines.
