How to set a Temporary Basal Rate.
When to use:
A temporary basal rate lets you adjust your background insulin for a predetermined period of time. This feature
is best used to account for a temporary change in a daily routine, such as physical activity or times of illness.
Temporary basal rates can be set for durations of 30 minutes to 12 hours; once the time limit is reached, the
Pod returns to the active basal program.
