Tandem's basal

You mean .100 (per hour) minimum entry per segment.
So if segment is 15 minutes, .025 is delivered in 15 min.
Then next segment is 45 minutes for .000.

After 1 hour, net .025 units/hour has been delivered for that hour.

But it would be “front loaded”, and as experienced, led to lows. Tslim can suspend basal, but not effective when last 45 minutes of segment basal is 0.

The ideal setting is supported by medtonic pump, which allows direct basal segment to be .025 units per hour, spread over entire hour, not just first 15 minutes.
