Rev
erse correction (negative correction)
Usin
g an individual’s correction factor (sensitivity factor), the
reverse correction is a calculation that reduces a portion of a
meal bolus dose when the patient’s blood glucose level is below
their blood glucose target. This feature is an option in the
OmniPod
®
Insulin Management System, which should be
turned on or off according to the advice of a healthcare provider.
Sensitivity factor (see correction factor)
Sharps
Any medical item that may cause punctures or cuts to those
handling them. Sharps include needles, syringes, scalpel blades,
disposable razors, and broken medical glassware. Dispose of
used sharps according to local waste disposal regulations.
Sharps container
A puncture-proof container used for storage and disposal of
used sharps.
Soft Key
A button on the PDM whose label or function appears on
the
screen directly above the button. The label changes depending
on the task you are performing.
Subcutaneous
Under the skin.
Suggested bolus calculator
A feature that calculates bolus doses with user-specifi
c settings
and inputs. The settings used to calculate a suggested bolus are
target BG, insulin-to-carbohydrate (IC) ratio, correction factor (CF)
and duration of insulin action. The inputs used to calculate a sug-
gested bolus are current BG, carbs entered, and insulin on board.
The bolus calculator can be turned Off or On in the PDM.
Target blood glucose (BG) level
The ideal number at which you would like your blood glucose
level to be. The OmniPod System uses this number in calculating
bolus doses.
Temp basal
A basal rate that is used to cover predictable, short-term changes
in basal insulin need. Temporary rates are often used during exer-
cise and for sick-day insulin adjustments.
Temporary basal preset
An adjustment in a basa
l rate, in either % or U/hr, that can be
assigned a custom name and preprogrammed into the PDM.
