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
