What's New in Smart Bolus
3.0
October 17, 2026
The biggest update yet: Smart Bolus now understands your active insulin and remaining carbs. • Insulin on board (IOB) — Record the dose you actually took, and the app tracks how much is still active using the same insulin curves as leading closed-loop systems. Active insulin is subtracted from your next suggestion to help avoid stacking. • Carbs on board (COB) — Insulin matched by unabsorbed carbs from your earlier meals no longer reduces your new meal's dose. Only truly uncovered insulin is subtracted. • Insulin types by active ingredient — Choose lispro, aspart, glulisine, Fiasp, or Lyumjev with brand names shown, each with its proper activity curve. • Adjustable insulin duration — Fine-tune how long a dose works for you (5–7 hours), per profile. • Explicit dose recording — Tap the suggested dose to fill the "taken" field or type it manually, then record. Closing without recording saves nothing. • Settings tab — Language, dose rounding, CGM connection, and re-run setup now live in one dedicated tab. • Smarter history — Delete a single record or all of them, with per-profile isolation so each person's insulin and carb history stays their own. Note for existing users: after updating, the setup wizard opens once with your current settings pre-filled so you can review the new options.
