Bolus Wizard feature specifications
There are four different formulas the Bolus Wizard feature uses to estimate a bolus, depending on your
current BG. The following formulas apply only when the carb units are in grams.
1 If your current BG is greater than your High BG Target, the Bolus Wizard feature subtracts active insulin
from the BG correction estimate, then adds this to the food estimate to get the total bolus estimate.
However, if the result of subtracting active insulin from BG correction estimate is a negative number
(less than zero), the total bolus estimate is based only on the food estimate.

2 If your current BG is less than your Low BG Target, the Bolus Wizard feature adds the BG correction
estimate to the food estimate to get the total bolus estimate.
