Everyone requires a baseline amount of insulin (basal insulin) to enable the body to function properly without food. With insulin pump technology, you can set a flexible basal rate to be delivered continuously throughout the day and night.

With the basal insulin set properly, you can prevent early morning highs, hypoglycemia from exercising, as well as nocturnal hypoglycemia when you're sleeping.

Before you attempt to adjust your basal insulin, remember that what works for one person might not work for you. Everyone is different, and your basal settings are designed for your lifestyle. Always discuss any changes you are considering with your health care provider. They are your key to pumping success.
