2.2 Program Basal Profile 1
Your pump delivers a continuous stream of insulin to cover your
basic insulin need. This is called your basal rate profile. You can
program it in time blocks with different hourly basal rates to
cover your varying basal insulin requirement throughout the day.
By default your pump shows 24 time blocks, one for each hour of
the day. By changing the End time you can program a varying
number of time blocks (1 to 24) with a minimum duration of
15 minuntes and a maximum duration of 24 hours, if needed.
The total of all time blocks is called a basal profile or basal rate
profile. Make sure that you have programmed an hourly basal
rate for all 24 hours of the day.
Your personal settings for the basal profile should be provided by
your healthcare professional.
