CHAPTER 6
Modifying Basal Insulin Delivery
is chapter describes how to modify your basal insulin delivery using temporary
basal rates or switching to a dierent Basal Program.
Using Temporary Basal Rates
Use a temporary basal rate, or “temp basal,” to handle a temporary change in your
routine. For example, a temp basal can be used when you are exercising or when
you are sick. To understand how temp basals work, see "Temporary basal rates" on
page 139.
Note: If temp basals are set to "o," you cannot activate a temp basal. To enable
temp basals, see "Temp basal conguration" on page 68.
Tip: If you nd yourself repeatedly using the same temp basal settings, create a temp
basal preset for speedy activation (see "Temp basal presets" on page 68).
Activate a temp basal
Temp basals can last up to 12 hours. When they end, the PDM automatically
reverts to delivering the scheduled Basal Program.
If you have already dened one or more temp basal presets and would like to
activate one, go to "Activate a temp basal preset" on page 57.
1. Navigate to the Temp basal screen:
Home > Temp basal
2. If you have not dened any temp basal presets, skip to step 4.
3. Select [enter manually]. Or, to activate a temp basal preset, go to "Activate a
temp basal preset" on page 57.
