Insulin Duration and Insulin on
Board (IOB)
Your t:slim X2 Pump remembers how
much insulin you have taken from
previous boluses. It does this by relying
on the Insulin Duration. The Insulin Du-
ration reflects the amount of time that
insulin is actively lowering your BG.
Consult your healthcare provider to
accurately set your Insulin Duration.
While the Insulin Duration setting
reflects how long insulin from previ-
ous boluses lowers your BG, the IOB
feature 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
programming, your t:slim X2 Pump will
consider any active IOB and calculate
an adjusted bolus if necessary.
