      In your own words, how would you describe the feeling of a severe low?
      Before Dexcom it was in the middle of the night and my husband woke me up because he said I felt very clammy to him. I was sweating profusely. I could barely think to get out the words to him to go get my bottle of juice from the fridge. I asked him to get my meter so I could check my bs. And it was no surprise that the number 21 came up.

      I don’t currently wear a pump. For the brief period that I did, I started with it set to 4 hours and later decreased it to 3 hours.

      With Novolog, 4 hours. If someone knows a more accurate number, please let me and others know. Thanks. ʕ•́ᓄ•̀ʔっ

        I think there is no ‘accurate’ number. It is all dependent on the individual’s response to the insulin they are using.

      Using Aspart I have mine set to 3 hrs. I tried 2.5 and 4 and it really does not seem to make a lot of difference, but 3 hours, for me, seems to give the best results. Everyone is different in their insulin response.

      Tandem CIQ sets it at 5hrs as a default and you can’t change it unless you turn it off which I do sometimes. Previously, I had it set for 3.5 hrs for aspart.

      There are a lot of factors involved in DIA. Is humalog or one of the ultra rapid insulins like fiasp or lyumjev? Looping or non looping? Then on top of that there’s the individual factor.

      Not sure but I think this refers to Activity on Tandem pump. On a normal day i set activity from 9 to 5. As I am very busy most of the day. My CDE told me to. Lots of gardening, walking, cleaning, carrying things, I’m also the fix- it man’s ever present assistant when he’s working. Busy busy busy

      I use Tandem CIQ so 5 hours, but before that used 3 hours, which worked for me.

      If using tandem’s control IQ system, you’re required to use the 5 hour active time for insulin. You cannot adjust it. If you do want to adjust it, you have to turn off the control IQ feature.

      I’m using Control-IQ on my Tandem pump and that’s set at 5 hours. If I could adjust it I’d use a 3 hour duration.

        I said 3 hours because the specific setting at 12 pm I starts at that time and then switches at 3 pm to a different setting but don’t understand the meaning it goal of this question.
        I have, like I’m sure everyone else has, different settings during the days.

      Active insulin duration set at 5 hours via Tandem CIQ pump works for me. I trust it and TIR is ~ 88 to 92%. After nearly 60 years with T1D in my body, I am pretty happy with that. Why mess with what’s working?

      Wow, nothing confusing about the “Active Insulin Duration”, mixing the two Active Insulin Time and Insulin Duration Time, two different things!

      1 year ago Log in to Reply
    27. Stephen Woodward

      Insulin Action Time = “Time that the insulin will continue to lower blood glucose” Active Time

      Insulin Duration Time = “Length of time is take insulin to not impact blood glucose” Still detectable in your system.

      Gee. Results would have more useful info if it limited type to insulin aspart Novolog or Humalog only. I know an increasing number of ppl using fiasp & other fast-acting / fast uptake insulins **in their pump**. It baffles me on how their pump’s algorithm can handle that behavior with their active CGM controlling some aspect of their pump operation (i.e. Tandem X2 C-IQ).

      As I am sure that others have commented on, if you use the Tandem Tslim:X2 pump and you have enabled Control IQ, you are fixed at a 5 hour duration. While I understand why they fix the duration at that amount, I don’t think it is appropriate for everyone. In some cases, you have to ‘tweak’ your boluses at bit to compensate.

      Tandem pump with Control IQ has a set Active Insulin time that is not customizable (5 hrs if I recall).

      When I go back to DIY loop soon, I will change from 4 hours to ~5.5

    If you wear an insulin pump, for how many hours have you set your active insulin duration? (If you have multiple active insulin time settings throughout the day, what is your setting on a Wednesday at 12 p.m. in your time zone?) Cancel reply
