If you remove your pump

Pump settings

You may have an occasion when you need or want to remove your pump. If you have to remove and store your pump, it is recommended that you store it with the battery in place. Keep a record of your current basal rates. To preserve battery life, reset the basal rates to 0 (zero), turn off the RF options (meter, remote), and set Auto-off to dashes or zeroes.

NOTE - Your pump keeps a record of the basal and bolus insulin it delivers. Setting your basal to 0.0 while you are disconnected ensures the insulin delivery records in your pump are accurate.

Insulin

Remember, your body still needs insulin while your pump is removed.

It is important that you consult with your healthcare professional to determine an alternate method of receiving your insulin. You can remove your pump for up to one (1) hour without taking insulin. If you remove your pump for more than an hour, you will have to use another way to take your insulin, such as injections of fast-acting insulin, or reconnecting your pump to take boluses. Take the injection or bolus approximately every four (4) hours. Calculate the amount of insulin to take based on the total of your basal insulin in four (4) hours. Include the amount you need for meal and correction boluses. If you will have your pump off for several days, you will need to return to a multiple injection regimen.
