Oops, I stuffed up, as if it wasn't already confusing enough. Here's what the pseudo maths bit should have looked like:

Quote:
Variables:
(from BG input) Correction bolus = 3.8 (or any smaller number will do)
IOB = 3.8
Carb bolus = 3.5

Calculations:
A). Correction bolus minus the IOB equals the actual correction, with 0 being the lowest correction
B). Actual correction plus carb bolus = TOTAL

A). 3.8 (or lesser) - 3.8 = 0
B). 0 + 3.5 = 3.5
If the correction number happens to be bigger, of course the IOB will be subtracted from it, but again the carb bolus will remain the same. None of this feels intuitive at all, but that particular problem is mine, not my pumps
