Your 24 hour profile can now be managed in the setting section. The BU factor is used to calculate the insulin needed. Via WAP you enter that you are planning to eat 3 BU. So the system will extract the BU factor valid for the measured time. The BUs are then multiplied with this factor to calculate the rapid insulin:
3 BU x 2.5 BU Factor = 8 units rapid insulin
The WAP system will make this recommendation for you. In addition the system will calculate the insulin needed to reach you target glucose value. This correction insulin is calculated in an extra field to separate BU effects from correctional effects.
This correction will furthermore adapt to the physical activity you have entered. The heavier your physical involvement the more the correction will reduce or turn to negative. Negative means that the amount for you BU should also be reduced.
Of course these are all recommendations - you are in charge and you have full control to change the values as you like.
