Reverse Correction
If the Reverse Correction setting is turned ON and your glucose is below your
Target Glucose, the SmartBolus Calculator reduces the meal bolus. is allows
part of the meal to be used to raise the glucose towards the Target Glucose.
If the Reverse Correction setting is turned OFF, the SmartBolus Calculator
suggests the full meal bolus even if your glucose is below your Target Glucose.
Note: In Automated Mode, if using a CGM value and trend in the Calculator,
the SmartBolus Calculator may subtract insulin even if your Reverse Correction
setting is OFF in situations with a decreasing CGM trend.
e below table shows how each value is used in the SmartBolus Calculator to
calculate the total bolus volume:
Accepted
Value
How does the SmartBolus Calculator use
this value?
Using Omnipod 5 System with an FDA-Cleared Blood Glucose Meter
Blood Glucose
Reading from a
BG Meter
20-600
mg/dL
To calculate total bolus volume.
You can enter a blood glucose reading
directly into the SmartBolus Calculator. If 5
or more minutes have passed since entering
the reading, it will expire. Reading saved
to the Omnipod 5 System history may be
used for up to 10 minutes aer entry.
Omnipod 5 Insulin Pump
Minimum
Glucose for
Calculations
50-70
mg/dL
Disables bolus delivery when
glucose is below this value.
You can adjust this value in your Omnipod
5 System settings.
Correction
Factor
1-400
mg/dL
To calculate total bolus volume.
You can adjust this value in your Omnipod
5 System settings. e value indicates how
much one unit of insulin will lower your
blood glucose.
Correct Above 110-200
mg/dL
To calculate total bolus volume.
You can adjust this value in your Omnipod
5 System settings. e value indicates the
minimum glucose at which a Correction
Bolus will be included in the total bolus
volume.
Carbohydrates 0.1-225
grams
To calculate total bolus volume.
You can enter your Carbohydrates value
directly into the calculator to inform the
Meal Bolus.
