■ Reference Food Library
The OmniPod System includes a reference library of over 1,000
common food items. The library shows each item’s grams or car-
bohydrate, fat, protein, and fiber values , and calories for a single
portion. You can use this information to determine the carbs for
a meal or snack you are going to eat. You can also use it to help
you create carb presets for your favorite meals.
The items in the food library are derived from the USDA data-
base, USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference.
