Basal rate
Basal insulin is required to maintain your target glucose
values when you are not eating. Your pump can be
programmed with up to three (3) basal patterns (standard,
pattern A, pattern B) to accommodate your varying insulin
needs on different days (example: weekday versus weekend
day). Each pattern can have up to 48 basal rates. When you
first start pump therapy, you may only have to program one
or two basal rates. Get your basal rate settings from your
healthcare professional.
