For a temporary basal program, the display shows the %
adj
ustment that have been made to the default basal rate
(active or current). So, in Figure 8-3, “1.10 temp U/hr (+10%)”
means that you delivered a temporary basal of 1.10 units per
hour, which was 10% more than the default basal. (Notice
that two hours later, the basal rate returns to the default.)
Also, the “Pod activated” entry shows what time you applied
a new Pod.
Press the Up/Down Controller buttons for earlier or later

vation, or user cancellation. The screen shows the amount of
the bolus or basal that remained undelivered.

grammed at the same time. Extended boluses are shown

mond icon (♦) appears next to it. If a bolus was cancelled,
only the amount delivered before cancellation is shown.
