Temporary Basal Rates and Presets
What is a temporary basal rate?
A temporary basal rate lets you adjust your basal rate for a pre-
determined period of time.
On occasion, you may need to change the active basal rate for
only a short time. For example, if you are going cross-country
skiing for several hours, you may want to lower the basal rate
during and after you exercise. This is called a “one-time tempo-
rary basal rate.”
Some temporary changes are easy to predict and respond to.
They happen routinely and you may know from experience how
they affect your insulin needs. For example, you might take the
same exercise class twice a week for a few weeks or months, or
join a summer soccer league. For women, a monthly hormonal
change that affects blood glucose is an example of predictable
change. To easily handle predictable, short-term changes, you
can “preset” a temporary basal rate, so it is ready whenever you
need it. The PDM can remember up to 7 temporary basal presets.
You can set a temporary basal rate for a duration of 30 minutes to
12 hours. Once the time limit is reached, the PDM returns to the
active basal program.
When using units per hour, the OmniPod System allows you to
set temporary basal rates from 0.0 U/hr up to your max basal
rate. When using percent rate, you can set temporary basal rates
from -100% to +95% of your active rate, as long as the temporary
rate is less than or equal to your max basal rate.
See the sections below on creating, enabling, canceling, and
changing temporary basal presets.
Enable a one-time temporary basal rate
1. On the
Home
screen, use the
Up/Down Controller
buttons
to choose
Temp basal
; then press
Select
.
2. If you have created temp basal presets, choose
[enter manu-
ally]
from the list, then press
Select
.
If you have not created any temp basal presets, the PDM skips
this step.
As a safety feature, you cannot delete the active basal
program.
