CHAPTER 6
Modifying Basal Insulin Delivery
This chapter describes how to modify your basal insulin delivery using temporary
basal rates or switching to a different 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 "off," you cannot activate a temp basal. To enable
temp basals, see "Temp basal configuration" on page 68.
Tip: If you find 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 defined 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 defined 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.
