■ Reference Food Library
The OmniPod System includes a reference library of over 1,000
common food items. The library shows each item’s carbohydrate,
fat, protein, fiber, and calories for a single portion. You can use
this information to determine the carbs for a meal or snack you
are going to eat. You can also use it to help you create carb pre-
sets for your favorite meals.
The items in the food library are derived from the USDA data-
base, USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference,
Release 16, published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
Agricultural Research Service, in 2004.
