Active insulin in the MiniMed Go^TM app

What is active insulin?

Active Insulin is an estimate of how much insulin from recent doses is still active in your body. For example, if you take a 5.0 unit dose, there will initially be a full 5.0 units in your body. Over several hours this will decrease as your body uses the insulin. The MiniMed Go app shows active insulin from rapid-acting and mealtime insulin only, not long-acting or basal insulin.

How is active insulin shown in the app?

Active insulin is shown on the Home screen below the sensor glucose value. This number shows your total active insulin based on all mealtime and rapid-acting doses.
