Maximal SMB/UAM Bolus Size
Calculate the maximum Super Micro Bolus (SMB) or Unannounced Meal (UAM) bolus size based on your basal rate and loop settings.
Typical values: 30-60 minutes
0.10
0.50
1.00
Calculation
Step 1: Base bolus
1.000 U/hr × (30 / 60) = 0.500 U
Step 2: Apply SMB ratio
0.500 U × 0.50 = 0.250 U
Maximum SMB/UAM Bolus Size
0.250 U
About SMB/UAM
- SMB (Super Micro Bolus): Small automatic boluses delivered by the loop to correct high blood sugar faster.
- UAM (Unannounced Meal): The loop's ability to detect and respond to meals without user input.
- SMB Ratio: Limits the maximum SMB size as a fraction of the calculated bolus.
