16.1. About HypoProtect™
Caution: Closely monitor your glucose levels
while using HypoProtect™ to avoid possible
hypoglycemia and/or hyperglycemia.
While in Automated Mode, you cannot start a
temp basal or manually pause insulin delivery.
e Omnipod 5 System provides an option
for modied automated insulin delivery
through HypoProtect™. HypoProtect™ can be
useful in times when you need less insulin, for
example, when you are exercising.
While in HypoProtect™, the Omnipod 5 app
does the following:
• Reduces automated insulin delivery, and
• Sets your Target BG to 150 mg/dL,
regardless of your target settings.
With HypoProtect™ active, you can still deliver
a bolus as you normally would.
HypoProtect™ can be set for a duration of
1-72 hours, in increments of 1 hour. You can
cancel HypoProtect™ at any time. Upon cancellation or expiration of the dened
time period, full automated insulin delivery starts on its own and the Omnipod 5
algorithm returns to using the Target BG dened in your settings.
HypoProtect™ will end if the Pod is deactivated. You will need to re-enter
Automated Mode and then start HypoProtect™ with your new Pod.
Talk to your healthcare provider about the timing of starting HypoProtect to
address your anticipated period of decreased insulin needs.
Note: In the event of a loss of Pod and CGM communication and the
Omnipod 5 System enters Limited state, HypoProtect™ will remain active.
Note: You may see an instant increase in your displayed IOB when HypoProtect™
starts and an instant decrease in your IOB when HypoProtect™ ends.
