Basal rate This is the amount of insulin delivered
per hour that is required to cover your
basal, meal-independent insulin needs.
In insulin pump therapy, your basal rate
is determined together with your doctor
or healthcare team and can be adjusted
to meet your individual physiological
needs throughout the day. Your basal
rate is delivered by your insulin pump
according to the curve of your personal
Basal profile or profiles.
Basal profile Your Accu-Chek Insight insulin pump
offers you the option of delivering up to
5 different Basal profiles in order to
easily meet your changing insulin needs
(for example during the week rather than
at the weekend). A Basal profile consists
of 1 up to 24 hourly basal rates.
Basal profile
total The sum of all 24 hourly basal rates in
