■ Deliver an Extended Bolus
The extended bolus feature lets the OmniPod System deliver
some (or no) insulin now and the remainder over a period of
time you choose.
Deliver an extended bolus instead of a normal bolus
1. After you get your suggested bolus, press Extend instead of
Enter (see Figure 4-5).
As a safety feature, the OmniPod System only allows
you to give a bolus at or below the maximum bolus
dose you have set. See Chapter 6, Using the Personal
Diabetes Manager, for information on resetting your
maximum bolus dose. Consult your healthcare pro-
vider before changing this setting.
Once a Pod is activated and communicates with the
PDM, it can only receive commands from that PDM,
not from any other.
