Shouldn't be a problem. Lily ran a basal of ZERO for 4-5 hours a day
during the first 6 months or so of her 'honeymoon' she used a 42" bent
needle at the time with a 506 and never had a problem. Oh, by the way,
the rest of her basal was 0.1 to 0.3 so the only good flow she ever had
was for meal boluses.
