Example 4: Blood glucose above target (high blood glucose) with active insulin
Michael is at school and wants to eat a snack in the late morning. He tests his blood glucose with his meter
and finds it to be at 11.1 mmol/L (200 mg/dL), which is above his target of 6.6 mmol/L (120 mg/dL). He
estimates that his snack contains 60 grams of carbohydrate, so he enters 60 into the pump when prompted
by the Bolus Wizard feature. Based on his settings, and as a result of 1.5 units of active insulin, his pump
will suggest that he take 4.5 units.
Food estimate:
Bolus estimate = Food estimate + Correction estimate
Bolus estimate = 4 units + 0.5 units = 4.5 units

- Active insulin = 0.5 units
Correction estimate:
11.1 mmol/L - 6.6 mmol/L
2.2 mmol/L/u
- Active insulin = 0.5 units
