Basal rate and bolus
During normal use, your pump is in RUN mode and insulin is
continuously delivered to your body, according to the basal rate
prole you have programmed.
A bolus can be programmed as required. A bolus is the amount
of insulin delivered (in addition to the basal rate) to cover the
intake of food and to correct high blood glucose levels. The bolus
amount is determined by your doctor or healthcare team’s
guidelines and depends on your blood glucose level, your food
intake, and your activity level, as well as stress and illness. See
section 4.1 Understanding boluses.
