About active insulin
Active insulin is the bolus insulin that has already been delivered to your body, but has not yet been
used. The Bolus Wizard feature considers your active insulin time setting in determining any active
insulin still in your body from prior boluses. This may help prevent hypoglycemia caused by over
correcting for high blood glucose.
The Bolus Wizard feature automatically tracks active insulin
for you, based on your active insulin time, and subtracts the
appropriate amount when your blood glucose is above your target
range. The details will appear in the ESTIMATE DETAILS screen
during the bolus programming steps.
Your Paradigm pump is shipped from the factory with an
active insulin time setting of six hours, which most closely
matches the published scientific data. If your healthcare
professional prescribes a different time for you, the active insulin
time setting can be adjusted in one-hour increments from two to
eight hours.
You can always choose to override the suggested Bolus Wizard feature estimate and manually enter
a different amount.
