Maximum basal rate (max basal)
■
■
A maximum basal rate is a safety limit for the amount of basal insulin that is able to be delivered per hour.
It’s important to discuss your maximum basal rate with your healthcare professional.
Setting max basal rate
The Max Basal Rate sets the maximum basal rate (units/hour) that the pump will deliver. This maximum rate will apply to every basal rate that is set, including a temporary basal rate.
Your pump is programmed at the factory with a maximum basal setting of two (2.0) units per hour. A maximum basal rate of up to
35.0units per hour can be set. Discuss with your healthcare profes- sional what your limit should be. You CANNOT set a maximum basal rate that is less than any of the currently programmed basal rates – this includes patterns and temporary basal rates.
