16 Delivering a Bolus
16.1. Delivering a Manual Bolus
In certain situations, you may decide to deliver a manual bolus. A manual bolus
is a bolus that you have calculated without the help of the SmartBolus Calculator.
You can use manual boluses when the SmartBolus Calculator is temporarily
disabled or when you choose not to use the SmartBolus Calculator. Consult your
healthcare provider for instructions about how to calculate a bolus.
You can extend some or all of a manual bolus in Manual Mode.
When delivering a manual bolus, the Omnipod 5 System does not adjust the bolus
amount based on your glucose value, carbohydrates being consumed, or IOB as it
does when the SmartBolus Calculator is used.
Note: Any bolus delivered by you will be considered as IOB and may impact
automated insulin delivery in Automated Mode. Current glucose values will
continue to be considered in Automated Mode and may impact automated
insulin delivery.
A bolus cannot be greater than your Maximum Bolus setting. See "Note: e
Extended Bolus feature can only be used in Manual Mode. All other therapy
settings are used similarly in both Manual and Automated Modes." on page 250.
