Insulin on Board
Even with rapid-acting insulin, your body takes some time to use the
entire bolus amount. If you have activated this feature, your pump will
track the bolus insulin remaining in your system - Insulin on Board (IOB)
- and calculate a suggested lower correction bolus dose. The lower dose
is only recommended if you use the ezBG feature or if you add a BG
Bolus to a CarbSmart bolus. For this feature to give optimum results, you
should always use either ezBG or the Add BG feature during CarbSmart
programming when entering a correction bolus.
Your healthcare team will give you recommendations specific to your plan of treatment.
In the examples shown here, IOB amount is subtracted from the Bolus
Total screen and the ezBG Total screen.
When you replace the battery, the IOB amount is cleared.
Note: The pump constantly tracks insulin on board. If you’ve given a
bolus before turning on the feature, the pump will show that amount as
IOB immediately.
