About active insulin
Active insulin is the bolus insulin that has already been delivered to your body,
and is still working to lower your blood glucose levels. The pump considers your
active insulin time setting in determining if any active insulin is still in your body
from prior boluses. This may help prevent hypoglycemia caused by over-correcting
for high blood glucose.
Your current active insulin amount displays on the Home screen, and includes only
the bolus insulin you have already received.
When you are using the Bolus Wizard, the Bolus Wizard calculator uses your
current active insulin value to determine if there is an active insulin adjustment
needed. The active insulin adjustment calculation considers both the bolus insulin
that has already been delivered (the amount shown on the Home screen), as well
as any insulin that is going to be delivered by an active Square Wave bolus.
WARNING: Do not use the Bolus Wizard to calculate a bolus for a
period of time after giving a manual injection of insulin by syringe
or pen. Manual injections are not accounted for in the active insulin
amount. Therefore, the Bolus Wizard could prompt you to deliver
more insulin than needed. Too much insulin may cause
hypoglycemia. Consult with your healthcare professional for how
long you need to wait after a manual injection of insulin before you
can rely on the active insulin calculation of your Bolus Wizard.
