Omnipod DASH
™
System Lets You
Personalize Your Basal and Bolus Insulin.
When you first set up your Omnipod DASH
™
System, a
Certified Pod Trainer will assist you in programming your
Personal Diabetes Manager with the settings determined by
your healthcare provider. As your insulin needs change, you
can work with your healthcare provider to adjust these settings.
What is a Basal Rate?
Your body needs a small amount of insulin constantly delivered
throughout the day, called basal insulin. Basal rates are
specified in units per hour (U/hr). The exact amount of basal
insulin your body needs changes often depending on:
+ What you’re doing throughout the day
+ How stressed you are
+ When you’re sick
What is a Bolus?
A bolus is a dose of insulin, delivered to match the
carbohydrates in a meal or snack and/or to lower your
blood glucose when it gets too high. There are two types
of bolus doses:
+ Meal bolus
• With the Omnipod DASH
™
System, you can deliver either
an immediate or an extended meal bolus
• An immediate meal bolus delivers insulin for a meal or
snack you are about to eat
• An extended meal bolus delivers insulin over a longer
period of time. When you eat foods high in fat and/or
protein or are eating over a long period of time, such as
at a party, you might need an extended meal bolus
+ Correction bolus
• A correction bolus can be delivered with or without a
meal bolus if you need to lower your blood glucose level
Omnipod DASH
™
System Will Help to
Calculate Your Bolus Doses.
Omnipod DASH
™
System also features a Bolus Calculator to
help you deliver an accurate bolus dose. The calculator uses
your current blood glucose, carbs entered, and your insulin on
board (IOB) to determine a suggested bolus dose.
