Is Bolus a medical device

No. Bolus is not a medical device, and it is important to be clear about what that means for how you use it.

What Bolus does

Bolus is a healthy eating programme for adults in the UK who are living with diabetes or pre-diabetes. It helps you build steadier eating habits a week at a time, planning your meals and shopping around how you like to eat and the goals you set. The support comes from AI rather than a human coach, but the aim is the same as any healthy eating programme: to make eating well the easy option, week after week.

What Bolus does not do

  • It does not give medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
  • It does not give insulin or medication dosing guidance.
  • It does not set glucose targets or tell you how to manage your diabetes.

If you have connected a monitor, any glucose you see in Bolus is there for you to reflect on after the fact. It is not advice, and Bolus never tells you to change what you eat because of a reading. See how your glucose is used.

Keep your care team in the loop

Carry on managing your diabetes with your doctor, nurse, or diabetes team exactly as you do now. Bolus is there to take some of the weight off deciding what to eat, not to replace the people who look after your care.

You confirm you understand this, and that you are 18 or over and living in the UK, when you first set up Bolus.
