Basal
Basal insulin is required to maintain your target glucose values when you are not eating. Your healthcare
professional will calculate this rate for you. Your basal insulin accounts for approximately one half of the
body's total daily insulin requirements. Your pump mimics your pancreas by delivering insulin continuously
over 24 hours.
You can set your insulin pump to change rates during the day to match your needs. Your needs depend on
your lifestyle and insulin requirements. Some people only use one rate throughout the day, while others find
they need more. Your basal rates are made up of insulin deliveries that have start and stop times. Once set,
these rates make up your 24-hour basal pattern and are repeated daily.
