How your glucose is used

If you connect a monitor, Bolus shows your glucose back to you as something to reflect on. This article is clear about what it does and does not do with it, because that boundary matters.

What you see

On the Insights tab, Bolus shows:

• A glucose timeline you can view over a shorter or longer window.
• How much of your time sat in range, and how variable your readings were.
• Markers for your meals, so you can see how a reading sat around what you ate.

This is there to help you notice patterns in your own time, in the same way you might look back over your monitor’s own app.

The line Bolus does not cross

Bolus is not a medical device. The glucose information in Bolus is there as retrospective reflection for you. It is not medical advice, it is not dosing guidance, and Bolus does not tell you to change what you eat because of a reading.

You keep making your own decisions about insulin, medication, and treatment with your care team, exactly as you do now. Bolus helps with the food side: planning and shopping.

If something looks off

The glucose timeline reflects the readings your monitor shares. If it looks wrong or out of date, it is usually a sync issue rather than anything Bolus has changed. See fix a CGM that needs reconnecting.
