The idea is that this additional bolus "activates" glut4 transporters and gets you ready to absorb carbs. Before your meal you do the meal bolus less the earlier pre-bolus and go from there. If you use the Advanced Meal Assist function then you give around 60% of total required meal bolus, and the AMA system calculates your carb absorption and adjusts your insulin from there. I've found it works very well.</blockquote>
