As a safety feature, the mylife OmniPod System only
allows you to give a bolus at or below the maximum
bolus dose you have set. See Chapter 6, Using the
Personal Diabetes Manager, for information on reset-
ting your maximum bolus dose. If suggested bolus
calc is
On
, you can enter a temporary manual over-
ride to make an adjustment above your max bolus
limit (Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2). Consult your health-
care provider before changing this setting.
