12 Understanding PDM and Pod Function
When the Bolus Calculator does not work
e Bolus Calculator does not work when it is disabled or when it is set to o. You
control whether the Bolus Calculator is turned on or o, but the PDM controls
when it is disabled.
If the Bolus Calculator is set to o, the PDM does not track IOB and does not
suggest a bolus.
If the Bolus Calculator is set to on, the PDM may disable it in a few situations.
Being disabled means that the Bolus Calculator is temporarily unable to calculate
a suggested bolus.
