User guide
If you make changes to your normal basal rate, your U/H temp basal is not affected and will continue to
deliver as programmed.

Percent of basal
Unlike insulin rate, the percent of basal is dependent on your current basal rates. Percent temp basal is a
percentage of your current basal (0–200 percent limited to your Maximum basal rate setting). The temp basal
amount is rounded down to the next 0.025 or 0.05 U/H increment based on the basal rate.
The maximum percent limit is based on the largest basal rate segment with your programmed temp basal
rate time.
For example: It is 06:00 and your current basal rate is 1.50 U/H. You want to set a temp basal rate of
130 percent for seven 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.
