Abstract
Methods for setting a basal rate profile for an insulin pump, wherein the basal rate profile defines a basal rate delivery for a selected time interval and has a pre-defined number of profile segments each of which define the basal rate delivery for a subset of the selected time interval, include providing a curve representing the basal rate as a continuous function of time as an input for an input unit and generating the basal rate profile from the curve by a calculation unit by assigning curve values at selected time instances to the pre-defined number of profile segments.

A method for setting a basal rate profile for an insulin pump, wherein the basal rate profile defines a basal rate delivery for a selected time interval and has a pre-defined number of profile segments each of which define the basal rate delivery for a subset of the selected time interval, the method comprising:
- providing a curve representing a basal rate as a continuous function of time as an input for an input unit;
- and
- generating the basal rate profile from the curve by a calculation unit by assigning curve values at selected time instances to the pre-defined number of profile segments.
An apparatus that sets a basal rate profile, wherein the basal rate profile defines a basal rate delivery for a selected time interval and has a pre-defined number of profile segments each of which define the basal rate delivery for a subset of the selected time interval, the apparatus comprising:
- an input unit that receives an input of a curve representing a basal rate as a continuous function of time;
- and
- a calculation unit that generates the basal rate profile from the curve by assigning curve values at selected time instances to the pre-defined number of profile segments.
