Insulin-On-Board Calculations by Pumps

Many of us are use to seeing insulin pumps with "insulin-on-board"... the amount of insulin that's already been delivered and in your system from meals and b-g corrections.  This has always been a hard subject to explain.  Gary Scheiner has written a GREAT article in this month's DiaTribe about how IOB is calculated and reported by each of the major pumps used today.  Take a sec and read how each pump's IOB works so you'll be better prepared when you need to know.
