Enable A One-Time Temporary Basal Rate - Insulet OmniPod User Manual

You can set a temporary basal rate for a duration of 30 minutes
to 12 hours. Once the time limit is reached, the PDM returns to
the current basal program.
When using units per hour, the OmniPod System allows you to
set temporary basal rates from 0.0 U/hr, up to your max basal
rate. When using percent rate, you can set temporary basal rates
from -100% to +95% of your current rate, as long as the tempo-
rary rate is less than or equal to your max basal rate.
See the sections below on creating, enabling, canceling, and
changing temporary basal presets.
