How to deliver a bolus
With the Omnipod ® 5 System, it is still important and necessary to bolus (deliver
an insulin dose) for both meals and high glucose levels. It is ideal to start a
meal bolus at least 15-20 minutes before eating to prevent hyperglycemia.

TIP!
If snacking or having a second helping, do
not re-enter the glucose value. Enter only the
carbohydrates to keep from adding too much
insulin at once. If glucose is still high a few
hours after the snack or second helping,
you can give a correction bolus then.
TIP!
The SmartBolus Calculator suggests
insulin amounts based on glucose
value, trend and active insulin.
