Basal rate: The amount of insulin required to manage normal daily blood glucose fluctuations. Most people constantly produce insulin to manage the glucose fluctuations that occur during the day. In a person with Diabetes, giving a constant low level amount of insulin via insulin pump mimics this normal phenomenon.

Insulin: A hormone produced by the pancreas that helps the body use glucose for energy. The beta cells of the pancreas make insulin. (Above Source: Web MD : Diabetes Glossary of Terms) Insulin Therapy: The Basal dose is the standard dose you take daily. For example, if someone was on Lantus (long acting) and Novolog (short acting) the Lantus would be taken once per day as the basal dose, and the Novolog would be taken with meals as the bolus. With an insulin pump, the basal dose is the dose that you get per hour, while the bolus is what you take to cover meals.
