A temporary basal rate allows an immediate short-term change to your basal insulin for a specified period

of time (30 minutes to 24 hours). This rate can be up to your Maximum basal rate setting. It offers an easy

way to immediately meet short-term insulin needs for temporary activities or situations. When your blood

glucose is temporarily high or low

, a temp basal rate allows you to set a temporarily higher or lower basal

to accommodate your blood glucose. For ongoing periods of increased or decreased activity, the patterns

feature may be more suitable.

How does temp basal work?

During a temp basal delivery, all other basal programming is temporarily overridden. After the temp basal

delivery is completed, your pump will return to the programmed basal. A temp basal is delivered only

once and does not repeat. If you want another temp basal, you must program the temp basal again. This

feature may be useful to temporarily increase or decrease basal insulin during illness, exercise or similar

unusual situations.

Temp basal types

Based on your preference, you can select either Percent of Basal or Insulin Rate.

Insulin rate (U/H)

Insulin rate is a fixed basal in units per hour (U/H). This temp basal type is independent of your current

basal. When you select Insulin rate (U/H) for your temp basal type, your pump will deliver the fixed

amount you have set for the duration as set. The amount of your temp basal insulin rate can be set up to

your Maximum basal rate setting.

If you make changes to your normal basal rate, your U/H temp basal is not affected and will continue to

deliver as programmed.
