OmniPod Pod - How to Suspend Insulin Delivery.

18
If the individual has severe low blood sugar you may need to suspend insulin delivery.
Never ignore the signs of low blood sugar (no matter how mild). Any time the individual’s blood
glucose is low, treat immediately. If blood glucose is below 3.9 mmol/L, provide the individual with
15 grams of fast-acting carbohydrates, such as glucose tablets, juice, or hard candy. Check it
every 15 minutes while you are treating, to make sure you don’t cause blood glucose levels to rise
too high. If left untreated, severe hypoglycemia can cause seizures or lead to unconsciousness.
Symptoms of hypoglycemia. Never ignore these symptoms:
+ Shakiness
+ Fatigue
+ Unexplained sweating
+ Cold, clammy skin
+ Weakness
+ Blurred vision or a headache
+ Sudden hunger
+ Rapid heart rate
+ Confusion
+ Tingling in the lips or tongue
+ Anxiety
