You and your healthcare provider
Work with your healthcare provider to establish diabetes man-
agement guidelines and settings that best fit your needs. These
may include:
Insulin-to-Carbohydrate Ratio: Number of grams of carbohy-
drate covered by one unit of insulin. For example, if your insulin-
to-carbohydrate ratio is 1:15, then you need to deliver one unit of
insulin to cover every fifteen grams of carbohydrate you eat.
Correction or Sensitivity Factor: How much one unit of insulin
will lower blood glucose. For example, if your sensitivity factor is
50, one unit of insulin will lower your blood glucose by 50 mg/dL.
Target Blood Glucose Value: The blood glucose level you want
to achieve. For example, you may want to keep your blood glu-
cose close to 100 mg/dL.
Duration of insulin action: The length of time that insulin
remains active and available in your body after a correction
bolus.
Your individual needs influence the initial settings you and your
healthcare provider will enter into the Personal Diabetes
Manager (PDM) during setup (see Chapter 2, Getting Started).
If you are unable to use the System according to
instructions, you may be putting your health and
safety at risk. Talk with your healthcare provider if
you have questions or concerns about using the
System properly.
The OmniPod System is designed to use rapid-act-
ing U-100 insulin. The following U-100 rapid-acting
insulin analogs have been tested and found to be
safe for use in the Pod: NovoLog®, Humalog® , or
Apidra®. Before using a different insulin with the
OmniPod System, check the insulin drug label to
make sure it can be used with a pump. Refer to the
insulin labeling and follow your healthcare provider’s
directions for how often to replace the Pod.
Please read all the instructions provided in this User
Guide and practice the blood glucose testing proce-
dures before using the System. Monitor your blood
glucose with the guidance of your healthcare pro-
vider. Undetected hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia
can result without proper monitoring.
