# Normal Bolus (`normal`)

## Quick Summary

## Sub-Type (`subType`)

This is the sub-type of bolus event that represents a bolus insulin dose delivered within a matter of seconds or a small number of minutes (depending on the insulin pump and the user's settings). At Tidepool, we follow the common convention of representing normal boluses as point-in-time events since their durations are so short.
