The next step in the bolus calculation is the adjustment for current insulin on board (IOB). To prevent the calculator from giving you insulin already given, it subtracts your current IOB.

This will also replace any missing insulin that may have occurred after basal suspension. If you are trending low before a meal, this will add any negative IOB to return you to baseline basal in preparation for addressing your insulin needed for the incoming carbs.

### Carbs on Board Adjustment

The previous step took into account the insulin you already have in your system. Most likely, some of that insulin is to counter carbs on board. This step will add the insulin needed for both the carbs already on board and the new carbs you just entered. This allows Trio to prevent over-correcting for new carbs just in case your absorption or last bolus calculation has adjusted since it was administered.

The previous step took into account the insulin you already have in your system. This next step will add the insulin needed for both the carbs already on board and the new carbs you just entered, which serves to negate any IOB that was due to previous meals (COB).
