Hello everyone,I wonder if anyone could help me understand the meaning of the offset time?My daughter has a combo pump,has had it for three months.The offset time was set up at 1hr and a half by the nurse.I have noticed that when she has a bolus with her mid morning snack the bolus that the monitor suggests never brings her down to within the target range.It wasnt untill I was discussing this with a friend that I wondered if the offset time had anything to do with this.I was wondering what other childrens offset time is and whether my daughters needs adjusted.My daughter is eight years old.I hope this makes sense and would be greatful for any advice.thanks

Sorry, I don't know. We've got an Animas pump and whatever 'offset' time is it must be something else on an Animas! Could the carb/insulin ratio be wrong for morning snack? We have different carb ratio for breakfast, lunch & supper but we've had to fiddle about to get them right. probably worth chattng to your DSN.
