Insulin Duration and Insulin on Board
(IOB)
Your t:slim X2 Pump remembers how
much insulin you have taken from previ-
ous boluses. It does this by relying on
the Insulin Duration. The Insulin Dura-
tion reflects the amount of time that
insulin is actively lowering your BG.
Consult your healthcare provider to
accurately set your Insulin Duration.
Chapter 6 – Personal Profiles
While the Insulin Duration setting
reflects how long insulin from previous
boluses lowers your BG, the IOB fea-
ture reflects how much insulin is
remaining in your body from previous
boluses. IOB is always displayed on the
Home Screen and is used in bolus
delivery calculations when applicable.
When a BG is entered during bolus pro-
gramming, your t:slim X2 Pump will
consider any active IOB and calculate
an adjusted bolus if necessary.
