23Understanding Insulin Delivery and Calculations
CGM trend
e CGM trend is used to suggest up to 30% more correction insulin when your
values are rapidly rising, or suggest a subtraction if your values are rapidly falling,
compared to just a BG value alone.
Target BG
When calculating a correction bolus, the Bolus Calculator aims to bring your
glucose down to your Target BG.
Correct Above threshold
e Bolus Calculator only suggests a correction bolus if your blood glucose
reading is above your Correct Above setting. is feature can prevent corrections
to blood glucose values that are only slightly higher than your Target BG.
Insulin on board
Insulin on board (IOB) is the amount of insulin still active in your body from
automated insulin delivery and from earlier boluses. IOB from previous
correction boluses is referred to as correction IOB. IOB from previous meal
boluses is referred to as meal IOB. Additionally, in Manual or Automated Modes,
the Omnipod 5 algorithm constantly calculates IOB from your basal delivery.
When calculating a new bolus, the Bolus Calculator may reduce the suggested
bolus based on the IOB.
e Duration of Insulin Action setting represents the amount of time that insulin
remains "on board" or "active" in your body.
Note: e Bolus Calculator only subtracts IOB from a suggested bolus if your
current blood glucose is known. You should always check your glucose prior to
delivering a bolus.
Duration of insulin action
e Bolus Calculator uses your Duration of Insulin Action setting to calculate the
insulin on board from prior boluses.
Minimum BG for Calcs
e Bolus Calculator does not suggest a bolus if your blood glucose reading is
below your Minimum BG for Calcs level. You can adjust this level down to 50 mg/
dL.
Reverse Correction
If the Reverse Correction setting is turned ON and your glucose level is below
your Target BG, the Bolus Calculator reduces the meal bolus. is allows part of
the meal to be used to raise the blood glucose level towards the Target BG.
If the Reverse Correction setting is turned OFF, the Bolus Calculator suggests the
full meal bolus even if your blood glucose level is below your Target BG.
