Your personal information
You may need the following information from your healthcare professional before going to your
pump start appointment. If you are unsure, contact your healthcare professional or pump trainer for
instructions.

Bolus Wizard feature” for information on the Bolus Wizard feature.
Basal rate
Basal insulin is required to maintain your target
glucose values when you are not eating. Your pump
can be programmed with up to three (3) basal
patterns (standard, pattern A, pattern B) to
accommodate your varying insulin needs on
different days (example: weekday versus weekend
day). Each pattern can have up to 48 basal rates.
When you first start pump therapy, your healthcare
professional may only have you program one or two
basal rates. Get your basal rate settings from your
healthcare professional.
