Basal insulin settings
Your basal insulin delivery settings are described in the following table.
Setting What it is What it does for you
Basal Pattern A set of one or more
basal rates that cover a
24-hour period.
Determines the amount of insulin you
receive per hour throughout the day
and night. Allows you to vary your basal
rate according to your needs. You can
set up to eight basal patterns. For
details on setting up basal patterns, see
Adding a new basal pattern, on page 42.
For details about starting a basal
pattern, see Changing from one basal
pattern to another, on page 46.
Temp Basal A basal rate that you use
in place of your
scheduled basal rate for
short-term situations.
Allows you to temporarily change your
current basal rate for a duration of time
that you specify. For details about
starting a temp basal rate, see Starting a
Temp Basal rate, on page 48.
Preset Temp A temporary basal rate
that you can define
ahead of time.
Allows you to set and save temporary
basal rates for known short-term
situations, such as when you are sick or
have times of increased or decreased
activity. For details about setting up a
preset temp basal rate, see Preset Temp
basal rates, on page 49. For details
about starting a preset temp basal rate,
see Starting a Preset Temp basal rate, on
page 51.
Max Basal Rate Maximum amount of
basal insulin that your
pump can deliver
per hour.
Provides a safety measure by limiting
the total amount of basal insulin your
pump can deliver per hour. For details
about setting your Max Basal rate, see
Max Basal Rate, on page 41.
