Example 1:

emp Basal for a decreased temporary basal rate

Ramon and his friends got together for an unplanned game of soccer. Before using the pump, he was

taking shots to manage his diabetes. Ramon experienced frequent low blood glucose reactions

sometimes during, and very often after, he played games with his friends. Now that he is using his

Paradigm pump, he can use the Temporary Basal Rate feature to help prevent low blood glucose. He

simply programs his pump to temporarily deliver less basal insulin during the time that he is playing, and

often for several hours after play, as well.

Ramon was able to determine how to set his Temporary Basal rates by frequent blood glucose testing,

both during and after activity, and recording his results. The first time he tried using the pump, his

healthcare professional advised him to program his pump to deliver one-half of his usual basal rate for

the amount of time that he was playing and for an hour after he was done. He made small adjustments

of the temporary basal rate and the duration of time, each time he tried to use the feature. After

several different attempts with similar activity for the same amount of time, (such as his soccer game

that lasted two hours), he found a temporary basal rate that worked well for him.

Example 2:

emp Basal for an increased temporary basal rate

Gail has had a cold with a cough for a couple of days. Because she is not feeling well, she tests her

blood glucose more frequently. She finds that her blood glucose levels are running above target range

before meals and she has needed several correction boluses to keep her blood glucose levels within her

normal limits. Gail decides to use the Temporary Basal Rate to increase her basal rate during the day

today. As advised by her healthcare professional, she will continue to check her blood glucose more

frequently until she is feeling well.
