Percent of basal
The temp basal type is dependent on your current basal rates. Percent temp basal is a percentage
increase or decrease of your current basal (0 - 200 percent limited to your maximum basal rate setting).
The maximum percent limit is based on the largest basal rate segment with your programmed temp
basal rate time.
For example: It is 6:00AM and your current basal rate is 1.50 U/H. You want to set a temp basal rate
of 130 percent for seven (7) hours. The maximum percent temp basal rate you can set is 125 percent.
Anything larger would make #2 segment exceed your maximum basal setting of 2.0 U/H.
If your current basal changes (i.e. from rate 1 to rate 2), your percent temp basal amount will also
change. The pump will deliver the percentage for the duration that you have set.
You cannot make changes to your normal basal rate while a percent temp basal is active. You must
either wait until the temp basal is finished or cancel the temp basal in order to reprogram your normal
basal rate setting(s).
Your current basal rates:
Your maximum basal rate setting: 2.0 U/H
Segment #1: 12:00A
1.50 U/H
Segment #2: 11:00A
1.60 U/H (largest)
Segment #3: 4:00P
1.30 U/H
