Programming a Preset Temp Basal rate


Device: MiniMed 780G insulin pump

The Preset Temp feature lets you setup basal rates for recurring short-term situations where you need to temporarily change your basal rate. There are four names you can use to match your preset temp basal rate to a situation: High Activity, Moderate Activity, Low Activity, and Sick. There are also 4 additional preset temp rates available to use for other circumstances (Temp1 through Temp 4). A preset temp basal can be a good option for postpartum women, patients who are on steroids, or patients who recently had bariatric surgery.
