[QUOTE="skipbifferty, post: 400096, member: 53301"] Thanks for the reply Brett. I've just found out the answer. Medtronic and Animas are supposed to use a 'curvilinear' graph whereas the Omnipod and Cozmo use a 'linear' graph. In the words of another pump user (on the net), 'The formula generated is an approximation since the pump companies keep their formula a tightly held secret!' ([url=http://forums.childrenwithdiabetes.com/showthread.php?t=44485]http://forums.childrenwithdiabetes.com/ ... hp?t=44485[/url]). This article explains it in detail: [url=http://www.diabetesnet.com/diabetes-technology/insulin-pumps/pump-insulin-duration]http://www.diabetesnet.com/diabetes-tec ... n-duration[/url]. For your pump, Brett, it probably doesn't matter too much but I think, for people with Medtronic and Animas pumps, it's important to be aware of this. I probably relied on the number too much anyway because I was always aware that the active insulin time is different for people anyway. I wrongly assumed though that it was a linear calculation.
