Consider a desired total bolus $(BolusTotal)$ given over an extended time with a prompt amount $(PromptAmount)$ now and the balance $(Balance)$ delivered over the next $(H)$ hours with a current scheduled basal rate $(BR)$.

The order is important. Sending the <code>Manual Temp Basal</code> request to the pod is a single command and then the *Loop* app is available for the next command to be entered. The *Loop* app (and pod) will not respond to any pod commands until the bolus finishes delivering; this takes about 40 seconds per unit requested.
You have your choice of rounding $MTB$ up or down to the nearest $0.05 U/hr$. For this example, the quantity of $(2/1.5)=1.333$ was rounded up to $1.35 U/hr$ and then the scheduled basal rate was added.

??? question "Why isn't there a menu item? (Click to see more)"

Each item provided by the *Loop* app needs a volunteer to decide it is important and develop a method to provide that item. If a volunteer steps up to do this work, there is a long process of discussion and code review before such a modification is considered for the development branch.
