About active insulin
Active insulin is the bolus insulin that has already been delivered to your body, but has not yet been used. The pump
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 the Bolus Wizard menu in one-hour increments from two to eight hours.
For more details about active insulin, see the Bolus Wizard feature specifications section in the Pump specifications
chapter.
CAUTION: If you give yourself insulin by using a syringe, the Bolus Wizard feature will not be able to correctly
determine the active insulin in your system. Consult with your healthcare professional on how long you need
to wait after a manual injection before you can rely on the active insulin calculation of your Bolus Wizard
feature.
Active insulin time
The active insulin time setting lets the pump know which active insulin time to use in calculating the amount of
active insulin to subtract before estimating a bolus. Your healthcare professional should determine the active insulin
time that is best for you.
