 BasalBasal insulin is the "background" insulin that you need throughout the day andnight to maintain your target blood glucose values when you are not eating. Yourbasal insulin accounts for approximately one half of your daily insulin requirements.Your pump mimics a pancreas by delivering insulin continuously over 24 hours.Your basal insulin is delivered according to a basal pattern. Basal patterns andother basal settings are described in the following sections.Basal rateYour basal rate is the specific amount of basal insulin that your pump continuouslydelivers each hour. While some people use one basal rate all day, others requiredifferent rates at different times of the day.Your basal rates are set in one or more basal patterns. Each basal pattern covers24 hours. For specific information about basal patterns, see Basal patterns, onpage 41. Basal 39■ basalMP6025958-022 / ARELEASED
Basal insulin settingsYour basal insulin delivery settings are described in the following table.Setting What it is What it does for youBasal Pattern A set of one or morebasal rates that cover a24-hour period.Determines the amount of insulin youreceive per hour throughout the dayand night. Allows you to vary your basalrate according to your needs. You canset up to eight basal patterns. Fordetails on setting up basal patterns, seeAdding a new basal pattern, on page 42.For details about starting a basalpattern, see Changing from one basalpattern to another, on page 46.Temp Basal A basal rate that you usein place of yourscheduled basal rate forshort-term situations.Allows you to temporarily change yourcurrent basal rate for a duration of timethat you specify. For details aboutstarting a temp basal rate, see Starting aTemp Basal rate, on page 48.Preset Temp A temporary basal ratethat you can defineahead of time.Allows you to set and save temporarybasal rates for known short-termsituations, such as when you are sick orhave times of increased or decreasedactivity. For details about setting up apreset temp basal rate, see Preset Tempbasal rates, on page 49. For detailsabout starting a preset temp basal rate,see Starting a Preset Temp basal rate, onpage 51.Max Basal Rate Maximum amount ofbasal insulin that yourpump can deliverper hour.Provides a safety measure by limitingthe total amount of basal insulin yourpump can deliver per hour. For detailsabout setting your Max Basal rate, seeMax Basal Rate, on page 41. 40 Chapter 3MP6025958-022 / ARELEASED
Max Basal RateMax Basal Rate limits the amount of basal insulin that can be delivered per hour,based on the maximum rate you set. You are unable to set any basal rates, tempbasal rates, or preset temp basal rates that exceed the max basal rate amount. Youcan set your max basal rate from 0 to 35 units per hour. Set your max basal rate asprescribed by your healthcare professional.Note:  If you are setting your max basal rate after you have set up yourbasal patterns or preset temp basal rates, you cannot set your max basalrate lower than any of your existing basal rates. You cannot access thisfeature during a bolus delivery.  To set your Max Basal Rate:1. Go to the Max Basal/Bolus screen.Menu > Insulin Settings > Max Basal/Bolus2. Select Max Basal to set the maximum number of basal insulin units that canbe delivered each hour.Because the Max Basal Rate setting determines your basal insulin limits, awarning message appears any time you enter the screen to change the value.To continue setting the value, select Continue.3. In the Max Basal Rate screen, select Max Basal to set the maximum units perhour.4. Select Save.Basal patternsYour basal pattern determines the amount of basal insulin you receive throughoutthe day and night. Because your basal insulin needs can vary, you can set up toeight basal patterns. For example, you might use one basal pattern during theweek and a different basal pattern during the weekend.■ basal Basal 41MP6025958-022 / ARELEASED
A basal pattern is made up of one to 48 basal rates that you set up to cover a full24-hour period. If you only need one basal rate throughout the day, you set onlyone rate for the 24-hour period. If you need the basal rates to change during theday or night to better match your insulin needs, you can set more than one rate,each with a separate start and end time. The following example represents one basal pattern with three basal rates set forthree different time periods.00:00 6:00 12:00 18:00  24:0000:00 – 8:008:00 – 18:0018:00 – 24:0024 Hours1.0000.500U/hr0.650 U/hr0.900 U/hr 0.900 U/hrYour healthcare professional will determine what rates are right for you.Note:  If you have already set up basal patterns and want to switch fromusing one basal pattern to another, see Changing from one basal patternto another, on page 46. Adding a new basal patternThis procedure shows you how to add a new basal pattern. To add a new basal pattern:1. Go to the Basal Pattern Setup screen.Menu > Insulin Settings > Basal Pattern Setup42 Chapter 3MP6025958-022 / ARELEASED
The Basal Pattern Setup screen appears. Your active basal pattern appearswith a check mark and the 24-hour delivery amount, as shown in thefollowing example.2. If this is your first time setting up a basal pattern, the unit amount will be 0.0.Select Basal 1 and proceed to step 5.If this is not your first time setting up a basal pattern, proceed to the nextstep to add a new pattern.3. To add a new basal pattern, select Add New.The Select Name screen appears.Note:  The Workday, Day Off, and Sick Day patterns are available sothat you can match a basal pattern name to your insulin needs onthose particular days. 4. Select the basal pattern that you want to set up. An edit screen appears forthe pattern you selected. The following example shows the Edit Workdayscreen.■ basal Basal 43MP6025958-022 / ARELEASED
Caution:  Insulin is delivered in units per hour. If you set a basalrate of 0.025 U/hr for a 30-minute time period, this might result inno insulin delivered for that 30-minute period.5. To create one continuous 24-hour basal rate for your basal pattern, continuewith this step. To create more than one basal rate for your new basal pattern,skip to step 6.a. Leave End time at 24:00 to set a 24-hour rate. The Start time of the firsttime segment is always 00:00.b. Set your rate in units per hour.c. Skip to Step 7.6. To create more than one basal rate for your new basal pattern, enter onebasal rate at a time, as described in the following steps:a. Set the End time and the Rate for your first basal rate. You set your ratesin 30-minute increments.If you set the End time to anything other than 24:00, a second basal ratesetting appears.44 Chapter 3MP6025958-022 / ARELEASED
The Start time for the next rate is always the same as the End time ofthe previous rate.Note:  If you need to make a change, you can press   to scrollup to the rate you want to change. Adjust the End time or Ratevalues as desired.Note that pressing   or   when a field is selected (flashing)adjusts the value of that field. When there is no field selected,pressing   or   allows you to scroll up or down the list ofbasal rates. b. Continue setting rates for different time periods as needed. The End timefor your last rate must be 24:00, as shown in the example below.7. When you finish setting your basal pattern, select Done. (The Done optionappears only when the last End time in your basal pattern is set to 24:00).A screen appears that allows you to review your basal pattern. If you need tomake any changes, press   to return to the previous screen.8. Select Save.To activate your basal pattern, see Changing from one basal pattern to another,on page 46.■ basal Basal 45MP6025958-022 / ARELEASED

Temporary basal ratesThe Temp Basal feature and Preset Temp feature allow you to set temporary basalrates to manage blood glucose levels during short-term activities or conditionsthat require a basal rate different than your current one, such as an illness or achange in physical activity. You can make an immediate change to your basalinsulin for a set period of time (30 minutes to 24 hours), up to your max basal rate.About Temp Basal ratesA temp basal rate temporarily overrides all other basal programming. Yourprogrammed basal pattern resumes after the temp basal rate delivery is completedor cancelled.The Temp Basal feature allows you to set and start a temporary basal rateimmediately. The Preset Temp feature allows you to set up a temp basal rateahead of time for known situations. You define temp basal rates and preset tempbasal rates using either a percentage of your current basal pattern, or by setting aspecific rate, as described in the following table.This temp basal type: Works like this:Percent Delivers a percentage of the basal rates programmedin your active basal pattern for the duration of thetemp basal rate. The temp basal amount is roundeddown to the next 0.025 units if your basal rate is set atless than 1 unit per hour, or to the next 0.05 units ifyour basal rate is set at more than 1 unit per hour.Temp basal rates can be set to deliver from 0 to 200%of your scheduled basal rate. The percent amount youcan use, however, is based on the largest basal ratescheduled during the temp basal duration, and islimited by your max basal rate.Rate Delivers a fixed basal insulin rate in units per hour forthe duration of your temporary basal, limited by yourmax basal rate.To use the Temp Basal feature, see Starting a Temp Basal rate, on page 48. To usethe Preset Temp Basal feature, see Preset Temp basal rates, on page 49.■ basal Basal 47MP6025958-022 / ARELEASED
Starting a Temp Basal rateWhen you start a temp basal rate, your basal delivery changes to the temporarybasal rate for the duration you set. When the duration is complete, your basalinsulin automatically returns to the active basal pattern. To start a temp basal rate:1. Go to the Temp Basal screen.Home screen > Basal > Temp Basal2. Duration is flashing. Set the Duration for this temp basal rate. The Durationcan be set from 30 minutes to 24 hours, in 15-minute increments.3. Select Next.4. The Type defaults to Percent.

Stopping and resuming your insulin deliveryUse Suspend Delivery if you need to stop all active basal and bolus insulindeliveries. When you suspend your insulin delivery, your pump beeps and vibratesperiodically to remind you that insulin is not being delivered. When you are ready to continue your basal insulin delivery, use the Resumefeature. When you use the Resume feature, your pump starts your programmedbasal pattern, but does not start any previously programmed bolus deliveries.Note:  If you want to stop a bolus delivery only, without stopping yourbasal delivery, see Stopping a bolus delivery, on page 88. WARNING:  A bolus delivery or fill cannula that was suspendeddoes not restart when you resume. To avoid a high BG andketoacidosis, always check the pump's Daily History after youresume insulin delivery to determine the amount that wasdelivered. If needed, program a new bolus or fill cannula delivery.Caution:  When using Audio or Vibrate, it is possible that an Audio orVibration notification may not occur as expected if the speaker orvibrator in your pump malfunctions. This is most important whenusing the Easy Bolus feature or when your pump is in Manual Suspendwhere a missed notification may cause an over or under delivery ofinsulin.Contact the 24 Hour HelpLine or your local representative with anyconcerns. To suspend all insulin delivery:1. Go to the Suspend Delivery screen.Menu > Suspend Delivery2. A confirmation message appears. To suspend your pump and stop all insulindelivery, select Yes.The Home screen indicates that your insulin is suspended. Your pumpfunctions are limited until you resume your insulin delivery.54 Chapter 3MP6025958-022 / ARELEASED
 To resume basal insulin delivery:1. While insulin is suspended, go to the Home screen.2. Select Resume.A confirmation message appears.3. To resume your basal insulin delivery, select Yes. If a Temp Basal was activewhen you suspended your pump, it resumes if the time is still within theduration that you set.Note:  If you still need a bolus delivery that was in progress beforeyou suspended your delivery, check the Daily History screen for theactual bolus units delivered and the intended bolus amount. Thenyou can set up a new bolus amount as needed. See Daily History, onpage 121 for details about using the Daily History screen. ■ basal Basal 55MP6025958-022 / ARELEASED

Bolus WizardThe Bolus Wizard is a feature that uses your individual Bolus Wizard settings tocalculate an estimated bolus amount based on the BG values and carbs that youenter. Work with your healthcare professional to define your personal settings,which include your carb or exchange ratio, insulin sensitivity, BG target range, andactive insulin time.Note:  If you do not know how to count carbs, consult with yourhealthcare professional before using the Bolus Wizard. After you set up the Bolus Wizard, you can use it to calculate and deliver a foodbolus, a correction bolus, or a food plus correction bolus using a Normal bolus (seepage 73), Square Wave bolus (see page 77), or Dual Wave bolus (see page 79).The following sections describe how to set up the Bolus Wizard. Bolus deliveryinstructions are provided in the individual sections for each bolus type.Understanding your Bolus Wizard settingsYour pump guides you through entering the following settings when you first turnon the Bolus Wizard feature. Get your prescribed settings from your healthcareprofessional, and always consult your healthcare professional before changing yoursettings. The setup procedure begins on page 66.Setting What it doesCarb Ratio Exchange RatioUsed for food bolus calculations.•If you count carbs: the number of carb grams that arecovered by 1 unit of insulin.•If you count exchanges: the number of insulin units thatare needed to cover 1 carb exchange.Insulin SensitivityFactorUsed to calculate correction bolus amounts.Your insulin sensitivity factor is the amount that bloodglucose is reduced by one unit of insulin.■ bolus Bolus 65MP6025958-022 / ARELEASED
Setting What it doesBG Target The Bolus Wizard calculates your estimated bolus basedon your BG target range. The high and low values you setare the values to which your blood glucose is corrected.To use a single target value rather than a range, set thesame value for High and Low.If your BG value is above the high target value, acorrection dose is calculated. If your BG value is belowthe low target value, a negative correction is calculatedand subtracted from your food bolus.Active Insulin Time Active insulin is the bolus insulin that has been deliveredby the pump and is still working to lower your bloodglucose levels. Active insulin time is the length of timethat bolus insulin is tracked as active insulin.Work with your healthcare professional to get the activeinsulin time that best represents the insulin type you useand your physiological insulin absorption rate.For more information about how the Bolus Wizard usesyour active insulin amount, see About active insulin, onpage 71.

The pump considers youractive insulin time setting in determining if any active insulin is still in your bodyfrom prior boluses. This may help prevent hypoglycemia caused by over-correctingfor high blood glucose.■ bolus Bolus 71MP6025958-022 / ARELEASED
Your current active insulin amount displays on the Home screen, and includes onlythe bolus insulin you have already received.When you are using the Bolus Wizard, the Bolus Wizard calculator uses yourcurrent active insulin value to determine if there is an active insulin adjustmentneeded. The active insulin adjustment calculation considers both the bolus insulinthat has already been delivered (the amount shown on the Home screen), as wellas any insulin that is going to be delivered by an active Square Wave bolus.WARNING:  Do not use the Bolus Wizard to calculate a bolus for aperiod of time after giving a manual injection of insulin by syringeor pen. Manual injections are not accounted for in the active insulinamount. Therefore, the Bolus Wizard could prompt you to delivermore insulin than needed. Too much insulin may causehypoglycemia. Consult with your healthcare professional for howlong you need to wait after a manual injection of insulin before youcan rely on the active insulin calculation of your Bolus Wizard.Bolus Wizard warningsWhen you use the Bolus Wizard, there may be times when you see one of thefollowing:Warning: What it means: What to do:High BG Your BG meter reading is above250 mg/dL.• Check for an occlusion.• Check ketones.• Consider an insulin injection.• Monitor your BG.Low BG Your BG meter reading is below70 mg/dL.Treat your low BG.
