Temporary basal rate (temp)

Provides a temporary change to programmed basal rates to match
a change in short-term insulin requirements. Temporary basal
rates offer an easy way to meet situations that may affect your
insulin needs.

Two examples of when a temporary basal rate would be used are:

The stress of illness can elevate your blood glucose. Setting a
higher temporary basal rate can help to meet this rise in
blood glucose.

Setting a lower temporary basal rate when you exercise may
help prevent exercise-related hypoglycemia.

The Basal Patterns feature may be more appropriate for longer
periods of increased or decreased activity.
