2.5 Your basal rate profile
Your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump must be programmed
with your personal settings before you begin pump therapy. Your
doctor or healthcare team can help you to understand how to use
the pump.
Note
For your safety and convenience during programming,
your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump switches to
RUN or STOP screen if no key is pressed within 20 seconds.
Any changes you have made before this “time-out”
occurs will not be saved .
2.5.1 Programming your basal rate profile
Your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump delivers insulin every
3 minutes, in 20 equal doses every hour, 24 hours a day. This
flow of insulin, measured in international units per hour (U / h),
is called the basal rate profile and is calculated to meet your
basic insulin needs.
The pump can store up to five different basal rate profiles to
match your changing insulin needs – for example: Monday to
Friday, Exercise Day or Sleeping Late Day.
An Accu-Chek Spirit Combo basal rate profile consists of up to
24 different hourly basal rates. Each hourly rate may be changed
independently. The total of all 24 basal rates in one basal rate
profile is called the (daily) basal rate total.
Example: Basal rate profile for 18 U / 24 hours
