About Bolus Advice
• Bolus advice is only available if you set up bolus advice on the ACCU-CHEK Aviva Expert meter. For
information on how to set up bolus advice, see section 5.6 Setting Time Blocks, Health Events, Advice
Options: Bolus Advice Set Up.
• If you deliver a bolus without using bolus advice, you should enter the bolus advice into your diary. It is
important that you enter all bolus insulin doses and the time they were administered, so the Bolus Advisor is
assessing the total amount of insulin in your body. This step can help to reduce insulin stacking (the
over-delivery of insulin) which causes hypoglycemia. It is also important that you enter the associated
carbohydrate information into the diary in order to obtain accurate bolus advice recommendations. For
information on how to enter information into the diary, see Section 4.3, Adding New Data.
WARNING
• Bolus advice should be used only if you are using U100, rapid-acting insulin for bolus dosing.
• Do not use bolus advice with Neutral Protamine Hagedorn (NPH) or any other intermediate-acting
insulin.
• Do not use bolus advice if basal insulin dose is unstable.
• Long-acting insulin should not be used as a meal bolus or as a correction bolus.
