is a notification you can adjust based on
your needs. There are 4 different kinds of alerts
on your Omnipod

Pod expiration alerts

72 hour expiration time), you’ll hear 2 sets of
beeps every minute for 3 minutes. This pattern
will repeat every 15 minutes until you press
OK on your PDM.
+
Low reservoir alerts
So you can plan ahead to change your Pod
and make sure you have enough insulin, your
Pod will alert you when your insulin reaches a
certain level.
+
Auto-off alerts
Program your PDM to alert you if it hasn’t
received a Pod status within 1 to 24 hours.
+
Blood glucose meter alerts
If there is an error with your blood glucose
meter, test strip, sample, or results, your
PDM will beep and display an error message
number. To learn more about addressing
