Max Basal Rate
Max Basal Rate limits the amount of basal insulin that can be delivered per hour,
based on the maximum rate you set. You are unable to set any basal rates, temp
basal rates, or preset temp basal rates that exceed the max basal rate amount. You
can set your max basal rate from 0 to 35 units per hour. Set your max basal rate as
prescribed by your healthcare professional.
Note: If you are setting your max basal rate after you have set up your
basal patterns or preset temp basal rates, you cannot set your max basal
rate lower than any of your existing basal rates. You cannot access this
feature during a bolus delivery.
To set your Max Basal Rate:
1. Go to the Max Basal/Bolus screen.
Menu > Insulin Settings > Max Basal/Bolus
2. Select Max Basal to set the maximum number of basal insulin units that can
be delivered each hour.
Because the Max Basal Rate setting determines your basal insulin limits, a
warning message appears any time you enter the screen to change the value.
To continue setting the value, select Continue.
3. In the Max Basal Rate screen, select Max Basal to set the maximum units per
hour.
4. Select Save.
Basal patterns
Your basal pattern determines the amount of basal insulin you receive throughout
the day and night. Because your basal insulin needs can vary, you can set up to
eight basal patterns. For example, you might use one basal pattern during the
week and a different basal pattern during the weekend.
