Manual syncs
You can check for new data at any time by doing a manual sync.
⌂
To request an update (a manual sync), tap the manual sync button ( ) in the header.
• If a sync to the Cloud is successful, the manual sync icon ( ) is briefly replaced by a
checkmark ( ). The time in the header reflects the last time the Omnipod® Cloud received
PDM information. In other words, the time in the header only changes if the Cloud has
received a new update.
• If a sync to the Cloud is not successful, a connection error message appears. Tap
OK
. Then
ensure that the Wi-Fi or mobile data is turned on, and try again.
Note:
The manual sync button causes your phone to sync to the Omnipod® Cloud, but does not
trigger a new update from the PDM to the Cloud.
Check Insulin and System Status
The app’s Home screen has three tabs, located just below the header, that show recent PDM and Pod
data from the last update: the Dashboard tab, the Basal or Temp Basal tab, and the System Status tab.
To see the Home screen data:
1. If the Home screen is not showing, tap the DASH tab ( ) at the bottom of the screen.
The Home screen appears with the Dashboard tab visible. The Dashboard tab displays the
insulin on board (IOB), last bolus, and last blood glucose (BG) reading.
2. Tap the Basal (or Temp Basal) tab or System Status tab to see information about basal insulin,
Pod status, and PDM battery charge.
Tip:
You can also swipe across the screen to display a different Home screen tab.
For a detailed description of these tabs, see “About the Home Screen Tabs” on page 16.
