Your Role: Safely Using the OmniPod System
Work with your healthcare provider to establish diabetes man-
agement guidelines and settings that best fit your needs. These
may include:
Insulin-to-Carbohydrate Ratio (IC): Number of grams of carbo-
hydrate covered by one unit of insulin. For example, if your
insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio is 1:15, then you need to deliver one
unit of insulin to cover every fifteen grams of carbohydrate you
eat.
Correction or Sensitivity Factor: How much one unit of insulin
will lower blood glucose. For example, if your sensitivity factor is
50, one unit of insulin will lower your blood glucose by 50 mg/dL.
Target Blood Glucose Value: The blood glucose level you want
to achieve. For example, you may want to keep your blood glu-
cose close to 100 mg/dL.
Duration of Insulin Action: The length of time that insulin
remains active and available in your body after a correction or
meal bolus.
Please read all the instructions provided in this User
Guide and practice the blood glucose testing proce-
dures before using the System. Monitor your blood
glucose with the guidance of your healthcare pro-
vider. Undetected hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia
can result without proper monitoring.
If you are unable to use the System according to
instructions, you may be putting your health and
safety at risk. Talk with your healthcare provider if
you have questions or concerns about using the
System properly.
This device is intended for self-testing by the user.
If you are having symptoms that are not consistent
with your blood glucose test and you have followed
all instructions described in this User Guide, call your
healthcare professional.
