Your basal settings
You must program your basal settings before you can deliver basal insulin. Keep a written record of
your basal settings.
It is recommended that you set your basal rates with the assistance of your healthcare
professional.
If you plan to take off your pump for an extended period of time, i.e. more than a day, set the
basal rate to 0.0U/H. This will ensure that the insulin delivery records in your pump are accurate.
Refer to the section, “If you remove your pump” in chapter 2 for more information.
Basal programming and delivery
To set your basal rates, do these steps:
NOTE - You cannot make changes to your
basal rate settings while a Percent (%)
temp basal is active.
