Note: ALWAYS bolus for meals as directed by your healthcare provider. In
Automated Mode, bolus doses for meals still require your programming and
delivery. Failure to deliver a bolus for meals could lead to hyperglycaemia.
How insulin is calculated and delivered during Automated Mode
e Omnipod 5 System uses your total daily insulin history over the last few
Pods to determine how much insulin your body needs. e calculated amount
per hour is known as the Adaptive Basal Rate, which provides a baseline for
automated insulin delivery.
With each Pod change, the Omnipod 5 System will learn your recent daily insulin
needs and update information about your total daily insulin, resulting in your
adaptive basal rate changing with each new Pod to better match your true insulin
needs.
Using this Adaptive Basal Rate as a starting point, the System can automatically
increase, decrease or pause insulin delivery every 5 minutes to help you reach your
Target Glucose.
Increasing Insulin Delivery
e System can increase insulin delivery by delivering a series of insulin
microboluses (small amounts of insulin delivered every 5 minutes) to respond to
elevated glucose or if it predicts your glucose to be above your Target Glucose in
the next 60 minutes.
Decreasing and Pausing Insulin Delivery
e System can decrease or pause automated insulin delivery at any time if you are
predicted to be below your Target Glucose or to protect against hypoglycaemia.
It will always pause insulin when the last sensor glucose value recorded was below
3.3 mmol/L.
Viewing Automated Insulin Delivery
e Sensor Graph on the Home screen shows when the Omnipod 5 System
paused insulin delivery or has reached the maximum delivery. See “11.2. Viewing
the Sensor Graph” on page 126.
e automated insulin delivery amount given every 5 minutes while in
Automated Mode can be seen in the Auto Events tab of the History Detail screen.
See “Automated Events (Auto Events)” on page 138.
e Auto Events tab shows the total amount of automated insulin delivered every
5 minutes. is tab shows all automated insulin, both your baseline adaptive basal
rate and any adjustment up or down due to your sensor glucose value trend, and
the 60-minute prediction. e values will always be small. (Remember that a basal
rate of 0.60 U/hr would be like getting 0.05 U every 5 minutes.)
Note: Your sensor glucose value informs how much insulin the System will
deliver in the next 5-minute time period. For example, if your sensor glucose
