Determining your pump settings
Your healthcare professional will use your daily blood glucose journal records to program your pump. It is
very important to keep good records during the first weeks after you start on pump therapy. Not only must
you record your blood glucose readings, but it will be important to eat regularly scheduled meals and to
keep your activity as consistent as possible.
Until you and your healthcare professional determine the pump settings that will work best for you, it is
important to eat meals for which it is easy to count the carbohydrates. After your correct basal rate is
determined, you will be able to experiment with varied food choices and amounts.
After you and your healthcare professional are satisfied with your initial pump settings, you may begin to
experiment with different food choices, meal times and exercise schedules.
