change. To easily handle predictable, short-term changes, you 
can “preset” a temporary basal rate, so it is ready whenever you 
need it. The PDM can remember up to 7 temporary basal presets.

You can set a temporary basal rate for a duration of 30 minutes to 

12 hours. Once the time limit is reached, the System automati-
cally returns to the active basal program. 

When using units per hour, the mylife 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 “Off” to +95% of your active rate, as long as the tem-
porary rate is less than or equal to your max basal rate. 

Another 

limit on the temp basal rate when configured in % is that the rate 
cannot be decreased such that the resultant flow rate will be less 
than 0.05 U/hr. Example – if flow rate is 0.10 U/hr, you can’t create 
a temp basal of -60%.
See the sections below on creating, enabling, cancelling, and 
changing temporary basal presets.

1. On the Home screen, use the Up/Down Controller buttons 

to choose Temp basal, then press Select.

2. If you have created temp basal presets, choose [enter manu-

ally] from the list, then press Select.
If you have not created any temp basal presets, the PDM skips 
this step.

3. Enter the temporary basal rate in either units per hour (Figure 

3-11) or percent change (Figure 3-12), depending on how 
you choose to show the rates, then press Enter.

 

4. Enter the duration for the temporary rate, then press Enter.
5. Press Confirm to start the temporary basal rate shown on the 

screen. The Pod beeps to indicate that the temporary basal 
rate is running.

During initial setup, you and your healthcare provider 
either turned Off temporary basal rates, or chose to 
show the rates as % or U/hr. To change this setting, see 
Chapter 6, Using the Personal Diabetes Manager.
