Storage and Supplies

n
Store all OmniPod System products and supplies
(including unopened Pods) in a cool, dry place.
Products or supplies that have been exposed to
extreme temperatures may not function properly.
It is especially important to store your insulin in a
well-controlled environment. Inspect insulin before
using it; never use insulin that looks cloudy or discolored.
Insulin that is cloudy or discolored may be old,
contaminated or inactive. Check the insulin

Suggested Bolus Calculator Examples and

Guidelines
A suggested bolus is equal to the sum of a correction bolus and
meal bolus, then adjusted for insulin on board, if applicable.
Examples of each of these elements are shown below.
Example of correction bolus
Target BG: 5.6 mmol/L
Current BG: 11.2 mmol/L
Correction factor (CF): 2.8
11.2 mmol/L (current) – 5.6 mmol/L (target) = 5.6 mmol/L
5.6 mmol/L ÷ 2.8 (CF) = 2 units correction bolus
If the reverse correction feature is turned On and if your current BG
is below your target BG, the suggested bolus calculator subtracts
a correction amount from the meal bolus.
Example of reverse correction bolus:
Target BG: 5.6 mmol/L
Current BG: 4.2 mmol/L
Correction factor (CF): 2.8
4.2 mmol/L (current) – 5.6 mmol/L (target) = –1.4 mmol/L
–1.4 mmol/L ÷ 2.8 CF = –0.5 units reverse correction bolus
(reduces meal bolus)
