Program basal rates
Your Basal Rate provides you with approximately 50 percent of your
daily insulin needs. A Basal Rate is normally delivered all the time,
throughout the day and night. Your PPC can tailor your Basal Rates to
meet your changing insulin needs throughout the day. If you want to, the
PPC can deliver a different Basal Rate every 30 minutes throughout the
day. For some people, one Basal Rate will work fine. Other people find
that multiple Basal Rates will help them respond better to their insulin
needs. You should discuss with your doctor the number and amount of
Basal Rates that are best for you.
