A diamond icon (♦) appears next to the program that
is active. You cannot select the active program to
enable it, because it is already running.

program while a temporary basal program is in pro-
cess (see “Temporary Basal Rates and Presets” later in
this chapter); you must first cancel the active tempo-
rary basal program.
