Ketones
: Acidic by-products that result from the breakdown of fat for energy. The
presence of ketones indicates that the body is using stored fat and muscle (instead
of glucose) for energy.
Manually calculated bolus
: A bolus amount of insulin chosen by you (not
calculated by the Bolus Calculator).
Maximum Basal Rate
: Upper limit for basal rates in a Basal Program or temp
basal.
Maximum Bolus
: The largest bolus that you can request from the PDM. The
Bolus Calculator informs you if it calculates a bolus that is over this amount.
Meal bolus (also known as carbohydrate bolus)
: An amount of insulin
administered before a meal or snack to ensure that blood glucose levels stay within
the desired BG Goal Range after a meal.
Minimum BG for Calcs
: The minimum blood glucose reading at which the
Bolus Calculator calculates a meal bolus. The Bolus Calculator is disabled below
this value. “For Calcs” means “for use in the Bolus Calculator’s calculations”.
Notifications
: An on-screen reminder or informational message.
Occlusion
: A blockage or interruption in insulin delivery.
Pairing
: Linking two devices so that they can communicate wirelessly with each
other. See also
sync
.
Podders
: People with diabetes or caregivers of people with diabetes who use the
Omnipod® system to manage their daily insulin needs.
Preset
: A preset allows you to quickly enter a value that you use often.
Protein
: One of the three main energy sources in food. (The other two are
carbohydrate and fat.)Protein contains 4 calories per gram. Foods high in protein
include meat, poultry, fish, legumes and dairy products.
Reverse Correction (negative correction)
: If your blood glucose level is below
your Target BG, the Bolus Calculator uses your Correction Factor to reduce a
portion of a meal bolus dose. This is an optional feature, which should be turned
on or off according to the advice of your healthcare provider.
Segments:
Defined periods of time during a 24-hour day. Segments are used to
define basal segments in a Basal Program, and also to define Target BG segments,
IC Ratio segments and Correction Factor segments.
Sensitivity factor (see Correction Factor)
Sync
: The act of transferring information between two paired devices.
