1.2 Before Using Bolus Advice
As with any specialized feature, you need to understand certain information in order to use bolus advice.
Working closely with your healthcare professional, you must be completely familiar with your diabetes
therapy. You must also be able to judge your current situation accurately. Bolus advice calculates boluses for
you. This can help you determine the amount of insulin you currently require. You provide the information on
which the bolus advice calculations are based.
Bolus advice is not able to judge your current situation independently of your own estimation. It cannot
correct possible input errors. This is particularly true for the carbohydrate amount entered. Entries that
exceed possible limits are recognized as such and in this case you are prompted to check the entry and
correct it, if necessary. However, as long as the entries fall within a possible range, the accuracy cannot be
checked by your meter. No warning message is displayed if the data are possible (within the acceptable
ranges) but incorrect. Therefore, it is important to carefully review all of your entries.
