CHAPTER 6
Modifying Basal Insulin Delivery
This chapter describes how to modify your basal insulin delivery by using
temporary basal rates or by switching to a different Basal Program (see
“Temporary Basal Rates” on page 138).
To create a new Basal Program, see page 75. To edit an existing Basal Program, see
page 77.
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 ill. When a temp basal ends, the PDM automatically reverts
to delivering the scheduled Basal Program.
You cannot activate or cancel a temp basal during an immediate bolus, but
you can activate or cancel a temp basal while an extended bolus is running.
To create a temp basal preset for a frequently used temp basal, see “Create a new
temp basal preset” on page 79.
To activate a temp basal preset, see “Activate a temp basal preset” on page 71.
Tip:
By default, the PDM or Pod sounds a tone at the beginning and end of a temp
basal and every 60 minutes while a temp basal is running. To turn these on or off,
see “Informational Signals List” on page 119.
Activate a temp basal
You can only activate a temp basal if the temp basal setting is on. To turn on the
temp basal setting, see “Temp basal” on page 105.
To define and activate a temp basal:
1. Navigate to:
Menu icon
( ) >
Set Temp Basal
.
The screen shows a graph of the active Basal Program.
Note:
To activate a temp basal preset, tap
SELECT FROM PRESETS
and go to
step 2 of “Activate a temp basal preset” on page 71.
