2. Tap the Basal Rate eld and enter the
desired change in the basal rate:
• If temp basals are congured as a
percentage (%) change, scroll the
wheel up or down to dene the
per cent change to the active Basal
Program. An up arrow indicates
increasing the basal rate above
that of the active Basal Program. A
down arrow indicates decreasing
the basal rate below that of the
active Basal Program.
• If temp basals are congured as a
at rate (U/hr), scroll the wheel to
select the basal rate for the entire
temp basal period.
To change whether temp basals are
congured as percent (%) or U/hr, see
“Temp basal” on page 105.
Note: e scroll wheel will not scroll above your Maximum Basal Rate. To
adjust your Maximum Basal Rate, see “Maximum Basal Rate” on page104.
Tip: You can turn o insulin delivery for the duration of the temp basal
by setting a decrease of 100% or setting the temp basal to 0 U/hr. For more
information, see “Temp basal limitations” on page 140 and “Methods to
temporarily stop insulin delivery” on page 141.
3. Tap the Duration eld and enter the temp basal duration (between 30
minutes and 12 hours).
Examine the temp basal graph at the top of the screen. e proposed temp
basal is superimposed on the active Basal Program.
• e lighter blue shaded area shows the proposed temp basal rate for each
segment.
• If you set a decrease, the active Basal Program is shown as a dotted line.
4. Tap CONFIRM to continue.
5. Review the temp basal details. If corrections are needed, tap on the row that
you would like to change. en enter your corrections and conrm them.
Note: If necessary, the PDM limits the basal rate of any segment that would
exceed your Maximum Basal Rate setting. is is indicated by a red line on
the graph and the word “Max”.
6. To activate the temp basal, tap ACTIVATE. en tap ACTIVATE again.
