LO

The test result is below the meter’s measurement range.

Max Bolus

The maximum amount of bolus insulin to be delivered at one time. A
bolus that is larger than the max bolus amount requires an additional
confirmation. This serves as a safety measure against unintended large
boluses. You should ask the advice of your HCP for delivering large doses
of insulin.

Meal Rise

During or after meals, an increase in blood glucose levels is considered
normal, or “allowed,” within a certain range, even though a meal bolus
has been delivered. A meal rise is in effect for a specified time period.

Meal Time

A pop-up menu selection (pre-meal, post-meal, bedtime, or other) that
allows information to be stored with a blood glucose test or in a diary
record.

Meter

Blood glucose meter.

Note

Additional information.

NPH Insulin

average, starts to lower blood glucose within 1 to 2 hours after injection. It
has its strongest effect 6 to 10 hours after injection but keeps working
about 10 hours after injection. Also called N insulin.
