Message: <blockquote data-quote="Snapsy" data-source="post: 1174475" data-attributes="member: 265172">I had a chat with my rep about this at a workshop the other week - I think the number top left is the amount of corrective insulin still on board from the last bolus, but is not related to bolused insulin for carbs.The -0.9 is I think the 'reverse correction' figure - so I'm assuming that the number it is trying to correct to is greater than the 5mmol/l shown on Ewelina's picture (mine corrects me to 6, as my target is set to 5-7). So to get you to (for instance 6) your target you are being shown you need negative insulin (which if you were bolusing for carbs would be subtracted from the total dose), not shown here as carb input is zero.The above may well be missing something - as perhaps am I - but I think that was how it was explained to me.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
