Acting timeActing time
The acting time is the time for which the insulin delivered as
a bolus is still eective. It is the whole time for which an
increase in blood sugar after a carb bolus or a correction
bolus is taken into account. The mySugr Bolus Calculator
will not recommend a correction bolus for this time if your
current blood sugar level is less than the blood sugar level
covered by the previous bolus (meal rise or a corrected high
blood sugar).
To choose the correct value, you should know the following
information as per discussions with your healthcare
professional:
The upper limit of the “target range” for your current
“time block”
Blood sugar values that were tolerated as a “meal rise” and
which have had a carb bolus that is still active (acting time)
The expected reduction of your blood sugar level due to
the eect of insulin during the “acting time” (the decrease
between the end of “oset time” and end of “acting time”)
Excursions beyond the “target value” that have had a
correction bolus that is still active (acting time)
Oset timeOset time
The oset time is the time before the insulin begins to lower
blood sugar levels. After the oset time, your blood sugar
level should decrease because of the insulin, and at the end
of the acting time it should return to the target level. The
oset time must be at least 45 minutes, and the maximum
value will be limited by the acting time that you choose. You
and your healthcare professional should discuss what oset
time is appropriate for you.
