Understanding Insulin Delivery and Calculations23
To create the Basal Program shown in the preceding gure, the following basal
segments are programmed into the Omnipod 5 app:
Segment Basal rate
1: Midnight–10:00 am 0.20 U/hr Between midnight and 10:00 am, the Pod
delivers 0.20 units of insulin per hour.
2: 10:00 am–2:00 pm 0.60 U/hr Between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm, the Pod
delivers 0.60 units of insulin per hour.
3: 2:00 pm–midnight 0.30 U/hr Between 2:00 pm and midnight, the Pod
delivers 0.30 units of insulin per hour.
You may have dierent routines on dierent days of the week; for example,
your weekend routine may dier from your weekday routine. To handle these
predictable changes in your routine, you can create up to 12 dierent Basal
Programs (see "6.2. Creating New Basal Programs" on page 78).
Temporary basal rates
A temp basal lets you override the currently running Basal Program by setting
a dierent basal rate for a predetermined period of time. is feature is only
available in Manual Mode.
For example, if you are going cross-country skiing for several hours, you could set
a temp basal to lower your basal rate during and aer your exercise (see "Chapter
7: Temporary Basal Rates and Presets" on page 81).
Temp basals can last from 30 minutes to 12 hours. At the end of the specied time,
the Pod automatically goes back to the programmed basal rate.
