An insulin moving faster in and out would seem to reduce the length of zero basal. Look at extreme cases as examples for comparison. If my insulin duration was 15 minutes, a 30 minute ZB would mean that I had no insulin remaining. Certainly 30 minutes would be totally sufficient. If my insulin duration was 10 hours, a 30 minute ZB would be meaningless. I would still have plenty of insulin left. So it would need to run the ZB longer. > [@Running with OmniLoop](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/running-with-omniloop/7533/184): > > With all due respect, the custom insulin model you were showing earlier has nothing to do with reality I think it is much closer to my actual than the one that comes with loop. Insulin does **NOT** last 6 hours in my body. Not even close. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/5/5bcaef4c1cb7fb7dae5e25fa431ea2b2e2e2ae12.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/omnipod-looping/8012)._
