What are start and stop times?
Start and stop times are the times that one basal rate stops and the next basal rate starts.
It is recommended that you record your basal rates on paper. For best results, discuss setting or changing your basal rate(s) with your healthcare professional.

The start time of one basal rate is the stop time of the previous one — giving you continuous basal insulin over 24 hours.
You cannot set a start time for one basal rate to overlap the next basal rate. The addition of a new basal rate will erase any basal rates that follow.
