Warnings
Warning: AVOID changing your
SmartBolus Calculator settings before
consulting with your healthcare
provider. Incorrect changes could
result in over-delivery or under-
delivery of insulin, which can lead to
hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia.
Settings that impact bolus calculations
mainly include: Max Bolus, Minimum
Glucose for Calculations, Correct
Above, Correction Factor(s), Insulin to
Carb (IC) ratio(s), Duration of Insulin
Action and Target Glucose.
Warning: ALWAYS check your
glucose frequently when you use the
extended bolus function, to avoid
hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia.
Warning: AVOID entering a blood
glucose reading that is older than
10minutes. If you use a reading older
than 10 minutes, the bolus calculator
could calculate and recommend an
incorrect dose, which could result in
over-delivery or under-delivery of
insulin. is can lead to hypoglycaemia
or hyperglycaemia.
Warning: ALWAYS be aware of
your current sensor glucose 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 dened Target
Glucose, severe hypoglycaemia or
hyperglycaemia may still occur.
If your sensor glucose values do not
match your symptoms, ALWAYS
check your blood glucose using
a BG meter, and consider treatment
and/or Sensor calibration if necessary.
ALWAYS switch to Manual Mode if
you feel you are receiving inaccurate
sensor glucose values.
• Erroneously high sensor glucose
values can cause excessive
insulin delivery, leading to severe
hypoglycaemia, seizure, loss of
consciousness or death.
• Erroneously low sensor glucose
values can cause prolonged
insulin suspension, leading to
hyperglycaemia, 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.
Warning: Do NOT use the
Omnipod5 System if you are taking
hydroxyurea, a medication used in
the treatment of diseases including
cancer and sickle cell anaemia. Your
DexcomG6 sensor glucose values
could be falsely elevated and could
result in over-delivery of insulin, which
can lead to severe hypoglycaemia.
