BASAL INSULIN DELIVERY
What is a basal rate?
Your body needs a small amount of insulin that’s
constantly delivered throughout the day, called
basal insulin. The exact amount of insulin your
body needs changes often depending on:
+ What you’re doing throughout the day
+ How stressed you are
+ When you eat
+ When you’re sick
Omnipod
®
lets you personalize
your basal rates.
When you first set up your Omnipod

Pod Trainer will assist you in programming your
DELIVERING BOLUS INSULIN DOSES
What is a bolus dose?
A bolus is an extra dose of insulin, delivered when
needed 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 Omnipod
®
, you can deliver either a
normal or an extended meal bolus.
– A normal meal bolus usually delivers
enough 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
®
will help to deliver your
bolus doses.
A Certified Pod Trainer will assist you in programming
your PDM to deliver the bolus doses that are
determined by your healthcare provider when you first
set up your Omnipod
®
. As your insulin needs change,
you can later adjust these settings.

insulin doses.
Omnipod

also features a Suggested 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.
