21.5. About Automated Mode: Limited
Warning: ALWAYS be aware of your current CGM value, trust how your body
feels, and do not ignore symptoms of high and low glucose. Even though insulin
delivery adjusts automatically in Automated Mode with the goal of bringing
your glucose level to your dened Target Glucose, severe hypoglycemia or
hyperglycemia may still occur.
If your CGM values do not match your symptoms, ALWAYS check your blood
glucose using a BG meter, consider treatment and/or CGM sensor calibration
if necessary. ALWAYS switch to Manual Mode if you feel you are receiving
inaccurate CGM values.
• Erroneously high CGM values can cause excessive insulin delivery, leading
to severe hypoglycemia, seizure, loss of consciousness or death.
• Erroneously low CGM values can cause prolonged insulin suspension
leading to hyperglycemia, DKA, or death.
If you are having symptoms that are not consistent with your blood glucose
readings and you have followed all instructions described in this User Guide,
contact your healthcare provider.
At times, your Pod and CGM may lose communication while you are in
Automated Mode. ere are several reasons this could happen, including the
Pod and CGM not being within line of sight on your body, temporary loss of
communication due to environmental interference, sensor warm-up, or required
calibration. When this occurs, SmartAdjust technology can no longer fully adjust
your automated insulin delivery because the Pod is not receiving updated glucose
information from the CGM. Aer 20 minutes of the Pod not receiving CGM
values, the Omnipod 5 App displays ‘Limited’ on the Home screen.
e System also enters Limited state aer receiving the Automated Delivery
Restriction Advisory alarm. For more information , see " Automated Delivery
Restriction" on page 306.
When the System enters Limited state, SmartAdjust technology never gives more
than the Basal Program that would be active during Manual Mode. Aer an hour
of missed CGM values, the Missing CGM Values advisory alarm is presented
and you receive a steady rate of insulin that will not vary until CGM connection is
restored.
You may also choose to switch to Manual Mode to start your Basal Program. See
"22.2. Switching from Automated Mode to Manual Mode" on page 300.
Check your Dexcom G6 app to see if there are any CGM actions you need to take
to re-establish communication. See your Dexcom G6 CGM System User Guide.
