Notes about the Advanced Option:
• The calculator estimates the amount of rapid-acting insulin still in
the body and how much longer it may be active. The active insulin
estimate is calculated from the set insulin duration, the time, and
amount of the last logged rapid-acting insulin dose.
• Both meal and correction doses are included in the active insulin
tracking.
• Insulin doses calculated 0-2 hours after a previously logged dose
will only include a meal dose. Active insulin will not be subtracted
from the meal or carbohydrate dose, and a correction dose will not
be included even if the blood glucose is outside the target. During
this time period, the previous dose has not reached peak action and
additional correction doses, referred to as `insulin stacking’, may result
in hypoglycaemia.
• Insulin doses calculated between 2 hours and the set insulin duration
will have active insulin subtracted from the suggested dose (for
example if insulin duration is set at 5 hours, active insulin will be
subtracted from doses calculated between 2-5 hours).
• All previously injected rapid-acting insulin should be logged to ensure
accurate active insulin tracking and calculations.
