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 107. 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 132.
Tip: By default, the Omnipod 5 App 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 "13.3. Sounds and Vibrations" on page 157.
Before you create or change a temporary basal rate, do the following:
• Temp basal setting must be ON. If it is OFF, see "10.3. Basal and Temp Basal
Settings" on page 132.
• If the Omnipod 5 System is currently in Automated Mode, switch to Manual
Mode. See "22.2. Switching from Automated Mode to Manual Mode" on page
300.
