Pump Settings

Highlights

  • Max Basal = 4x max daily basal
  • Max Bolus = Max bolus you give for a meal
  • DIA = 7 hours

Delivery Limits

These are safety limiters for iAPS. For Max Basal, 4 times your highested scheduled basal rate is generally adequate. For Max Bolus, choose the maximum amount of insulin you generally bolus for meals.

Duration of Insulin Action

Duration of insulin action (DIA) affects iAPS calculations through its impact on insulin on board (IOB). The default DIA of 5 hours is likely too low and can cause insulin stacking. Increasing to 7 hours should suit most users. For more information on DIA in loop systems, please follow the following link: link
