7 Temporary Basal Rates and Presets
7.1. About Temporary Basal Rates
When in Manual Mode, you can use a temporary basal rate, or “temp basal,” to
handle a temporary change in your routine. For example, a temp basal can be used
when you are exercising or when you are sick. When a temp basal ends, the Pod
will start delivering the scheduled Basal Program.
If there is a temp basal that you use oen, you can create a "temp basal preset" for
rapid activation in the future. To create a temp basal preset, see page 85. You
can create up to 12 temp basal presets.
To turn ON or OFF the ability to start temp basals, or to change between
specifying the temp basal as a percentage or in U/hr, see page 162.
Tip: By default, the Omnipod 5 or Pod sounds a tone at the beginning and end of a
temp basal and every 60 minutes while a temp basal is running. To turn these ON or
OFF, see "20.5. Understanding Regular Tones and Vibrations" on page 192.
