notes:
■
Active insulin is based on timing of previous bolus insulin and insulin type.
Four to six hours after a bolus, the majority of insulin has been absorbed, but
a very small amount is active for a few more hours. The Bolus Wizard
automatically calculates this and subtracts the appropriate amount. The
details will appear in the ESTIMATE DETAILS screen during the bolus
programming steps.
