Percent of basal
The temp basal type is dependent on your current basal rates. Percent temp basal is a percentage increase or
decrease of your current basal (0 - 200 percent limited to your maximum basal rate setting).
If your current basal changes (i.e. from rate 1 to rate 2), your percent temp basal amount will also change. The
pump will deliver the percentage for the duration that you have set.
You cannot make changes to your normal basal rate while a percent temp basal is active. You must either wait until
the temp basal is finished or cancel the temp basal in order to reprogram your normal basal rate setting(s).
NOTE - The pump delivers basal amounts in 0.05 increments. Because of this, your temp basal
amount will be rounded down to the next 0.05 increment.
The maximum percent limit is based on the largest basal rate segment of your current basal.
For example: It’s 6:00PM (your current basal rate is 1.30 U/H). You want to set a temp basal of 150%.
The maximum percent temp basal you can set is 105%. Anything larger would make #2 segment exceed your
max basal setting of 2.0 U/H.
Your current basal rates: Your max basal rate setting: 2.0 U/H
segment #1: 12:00A 1.50 U/H
segment #2: 11:30A 1.90 U/H (largest)
segment #3: 4:00P 1.30 U/H
