23Understanding Insulin Delivery and Calculations
Temp basal presets
Some temporary changes in your daily routine are easy to predict, and you may
know from experience how they aect your insulin needs. For example, you
might join a summer soccer league or attend an exercise class. For women, your
monthly hormonal change can aect blood glucose in a predictable manner.
To handle predictable, short-term changes, you can dene temp basal presets (see
"Chapter 7: Temporary Basal Rates and Presets" on page 81). Once stored, a temp
basal preset can be started quickly at a later time.
Methods to temporarily pause insulin delivery in Manual
Mode
ere may be times when you want to pause all insulin delivery, or at least all basal
insulin delivery, for a period of time. If you do not want to deactivate your current
Pod, you can request a temporary halt of insulin delivery as follows:
• Pause insulin delivery:
Menu icon (
) > Pause Insulin.
• Set a temp basal to turn o insulin delivery:
Menu icon (
) > Set Temp Basal. en select 100% decrease or 0 U/hr.
e following table compares these options for pausing insulin delivery.
