#5: Previous bolus activity results in a calculation of 1.5 units unabsorbed (active) insulin. User inputs 60 grams of
carbs and a BG of 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L).

*This negative number indicates that active insulin is sufficient to cover the
correction that is needed. Thus, correction will be 0 units. Active insulin does
not reduce the food portion of the estimate.
