Insulin Pump Basal Rate
An insulin-delivering device about the size of a deck of cards that can be worn on a belt or kept in a pocket. An insulin pump connects to narrow, flexible plastic tubing that ends with a needle inserted just under the skin.
A device that delivers a continuous supply of insulin into the body.
The insulin pump is a medical device used for the administration of insulin in the treatment of diabetes mellitus, also known as continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy.
In biology, basal rate is the rate of continuous supply of some chemical or process. In the case of diabetes mellitus, it is a low rate of continuous insulin supply needed for such purposes as controlling cellular glucose and amino acid uptake.
a steady trickle of low levels of longer-acting insulin, such as that used in insulin pumps.
in metabolism, a measure of the metabolic rate taken with the patient fasting and at rest. The oxygen consumed in breathing under these conditions indicates the minimum rate of chemical reactions in the body.
Diabetes 365 day 97: Thursday, January 17, 2008
After two days of crappy fastings and even crappier post-prandials, especially in the morning, I e-mailed my endo. Then I changed my site. I think more than my basal needs to change, and even that I think needs to change more. But, we *are* only on day three of pumping, so I'll give it some time.
Realitychecker Carly's basal rates
Carly's basal also delivered by insulin pump. Carly says she is still in the honeymoon phase so her daily requirement is a little lower than it would be if she were not producing insulin at all (like most of us Type 1s).
