7 Temporary Basal Rates and Presets
Temp basal settings: Units per hour (U/hr) or percent (%)
Temp basals can be set using percent (%) or units per hour (U/hr).
Setting temp basals to units per hour (U/hr) means that the Pod delivers insulin
at a at rate for the duration of the temp basal. In other words, the details of the
currently scheduled Basal Program are ignored during these temp basals.
Setting temp basals to percent (%) means insulin delivery follows the pattern
dened by the currently scheduled Basal Program but increases or decreases the
insulin delivery by the specied percentage. For example, a 50% increase raises the
Basal Program's insulin delivery by 50%, while a 50% decrease lowers the Basal
Program's insulin delivery by 50%.
