21.3. Bolus Settings and Importance of a Bolus
In Automated Mode, the Omnipod 5 System automatically delivers insulin
every 5 minutes. However, you still need to deliver a bolus dose for meals. For
information on how to deliver a bolus, see "Section 3: SmartBolus Calculator" on
page 225.
When delivering a bolus, it is recommended to:
• Tap USE CGM to use your CGM value in the SmartBolus Calculator. is will
ensure that your CGM trend is included in the calculations and necessary
adjustments are made to account for the trend.
• Review the SmartBolus Calculator calculations for accuracy. If the
calculations show an amount you are not expecting, cancel the bolus and
begin again.
• Always look for the progress bar to conrm that delivery has begun before
exiting the Omnipod 5 App.
Note: If you leave the Omnipod 5 App for more than 5 minutes while making
changes to your bolus delivery, you will lose the information you have entered
into the SmartBolus Calculator.
21.4. Pod Adaptivity
In Automated Mode, automated insulin delivery adapts to your current needs
as you wear the System. As you use the Omnipod 5 System and gather delivery
history, SmartAdjust technology will automatically update your next Pod with
your current insulin needs.
During your rst Pod wear (or if you’ve taken a long break between Pods), since
no recent history is available, the Omnipod 5 System uses only your active Basal
Program (from Manual Mode) as a starting point to adjust your insulin. Aer
48 hours of history is collected, which usually happens with the rst Pod wear,
SmartAdjust technology stops adjusting insulin against your active Basal Program
and starts using the Adaptive Basal Rate for your automated insulin delivery with
your next Pod change.
With each Pod change, insulin delivery information is sent and saved in the
Omnipod 5 App so that the next Pod that is started is updated with the new
Adaptive Basal Rate.
