Editing basal patterns
☞
Warning: It is vital to get the basal patterns
correct. If a basal rate is too high or too low, all your
insulin delivery throughout the day and night will be
incorrect, including boluses.
☞
Warning: Many things can affect how your body
uses insulin. To avoid problems, contact your
healthcare provider before making big lifestyle
changes, such as starting or stopping an intensive
exercise program, or if you experience a significant
weight loss or weight gain, etc. In these cases your
basal rates may need to be modified.
Your healthcare provider will initially program, or help
you as you program, your basal patterns. You may be
asked to test your BG level multiple times over a period
of a few days and chart the results to identify your
insulin needs.
Continue to modify, add and delete segments until the
pattern is correct. Instructions for using a pattern follow.
