Basal Rate Adjustment
Understanding Basal Rate
Basal insulin is the pump’s way to simulate the secretion of non-mealtime insulin.
Even if a non-diabetic person fasts all day, there still is a small amount of insulin
secreted. The pump’s basal insulin is used to simulate the micro-secretions of insulin.
Base Basal Rate
We have already set up the base basal rate in the Settings Wizard. The base basal
rate is the default basal rate for your basal programs. In the next sections you will
learn to edit a basal program by modifying the base basal rate in different time
periods.
Editing Basal Programs (List Display)
In the Home Screen, press the basal function button to enter the basal screen
shown in Figure 29. You will see three Basal Program Tabs, a Basal Time Period List,
and Basal Program Action buttons.
