  7. Insulin Pump Therapy • Based on what body does naturally • Gives small amounts of insulin all the time . That is called the basal rate (basal insulin) • Gives extra doses to cover each meal or snack (bolus insulin)

  8. Basal Rate Basal rate is set. It is the amount of insulin that is being continually given automatically.

  9. Meal Bolus Meal Bolus changes. The amount of insulin given depends upon how many carbohyrdrates are going to be eaten. Buttons on the pump must be pushed.

Correction Bolus • Student has a headache and checks her blood sugar. Blood sugar is 323. • You want the blood sugar to return to the target range. Follow the directions for high blood sugar. (Check ketones, drink water) • Enter the blood sugar into the pump and follow the directions it gives for the units of insulin to give as a bolus.
