Timed Bolus
A Timed bolus delivers a bolus evenly over a period of time (30 minutes to 5 hours).
This bolus can be used for delivering insulin if you have delayed food digestion due to
gastroparesis or meals that break down slowly. Since insulin delivery extends over a
period of time, the insulin is more likely to be available to match your individual
needs.
Combo Bolus
A Combo bolus delivers a combination of an immediate Now bolus followed by a
Timed bolus. The Timed portion is delivered evenly over a period of time (30 minutes
to 5 hours). A Combo bolus is useful for meals with both rapidly and slowly absorbed
carbohydrates. For example, a Combo bolus would be appropriate for fruit with cheese
and crackers. The Combo option meets both immediate and extended insulin needs. A
Combo bolus is also useful for correcting elevated BG before a meal.
