18. What is a correction bolus?
Correction bolus, also referred to as a "high glucose level bolus" or "supplemental bolus dose," is an added amount of insulin that is needed when blood glucose levels are above a specific, individualized target range. This supplemental insulin can be added to the meal bolus, or given separately as an additional bolus at times not related to meals.
