Start and stop times
When you set your basal rate(s) in the BASAL MENU, your pump prompts you to set the start time for each
basal delivery. The start time of one basal rate is the stop time of the previous rate. This gives you continuous
basal insulin through a 24-hour period. For basal rate 1, the start time is midnight (00:00 or 12:00 a.m.) and
cannot be changed. See the following sample graph of basal rates.

The start and stop times of basal rates for this example are:
• 00:00 (12:00 a.m.) to 2:59 (2:59 a.m.) for basal rate 1
• 3:00 (3:00 a.m.) to 6:59 (6:59 a.m.) for basal rate 2
• 7:00 (7:00 a.m.) to 20:59 (8:59 p.m.) for basal rate 3
• 21:00 (9:00 p.m.) to 23:59 (11:59 p.m.) for basal rate 4
If you need one basal insulin that starts before midnight and stops after midnight, you need to set up two
basal rates. These basal rates have the same rate but different start and stop times. For example, in this
graph a basal rate is needed from 21:00 to 2:59 (9:00 p.m to 2:59 a.m.) at one rate. Basal rate 1 always starts
at midnight and should be set to end at 2:59 (2:59 a.m.). After setting basal rates 2 and 3, rate 4 is set from
21:00 (9:00 p.m.) to 23:59 (11:59 p.m.) at the same rate as basal rate 1. This gives continuous basal insulin
from 21:00 to 2:59 (9:00 p.m to 2:59 a.m.) at one rate.
You cannot set a start time for one basal rate to overlap the next basal rate. The addition of a new basal
rate will erase any basal rates that follow.
