The First Pod
During your rst Pod wear (or if you’ve gone 30 days or longer between Pods),
since no recent history is available, the Omnipod 5 System estimates your total
daily insulin by looking at your active Basal Programme (from Manual Mode).
SmartAdjust technology sets a starting baseline Adaptive Basal Rate from that
estimated TDI. at is the starting rate that will be adjusted up or down based on
your current and predicted glucose and trend.
e System also sets a limit on how much insulin the rst Pod's 5-minute
adjustments can deliver for your safety.
At your next Pod change, if at least 48 hours of history was collected, SmartAdjust
technology will start using your insulin delivery history instead of its original
estimate to update the Adaptive Basal Rate.
Ongoing Use
With each Pod change, for as long as you wear the System, updated insulin
delivery information is sent and saved in the Omnipod 5 App so that the next Pod
that is started is updated with the new Adaptive Basal Rate.
Note: Your total daily insulin (TDI) includes all of the insulin delivered in either
Automated or Manual Mode. You can view your TDI for each day by navigating
to the Menu button (
) > History Detail and looking at the Total Insulin value.
21.5. About Automated Mode: Limited
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 dened 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.
