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
The Omnipod®System lets you
personalize your basal rates.
When you rst set up your Omnipod® System, a
Certied Pod Trainer will assist you in programming
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 the Omnipod® System, 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.
The Omnipod®System will help to
deliver your bolus doses.
A Certied Pod Trainer will assist you in programming
your PDM to deliver the bolus doses that are
determined by your healthcare provider when you rst
set up your Omnipod® System. As your insulin needs
change, you can later adjust these settings.
Calculate bolus
insulin doses.
The Omnipod® System 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.
*Be sure to check with your healthcare provider before adjusting these settings.

determined by your healthcare provider. If you
need to adjust your settings, you have up to 24 time
intervals per basal program.You can have up to 7 basal

WHY CARBOHYDRATES MATTER
Carbohydrates are important because they provide
us with energy and essential vitamins and minerals.
Proteins and fats also contain calories, vitamins, and
minerals, but do not contain carbs. Carbs are the
primary foods that aect glucose levels. Nearly 100%
of digestible starches and sugars become glucose
within 2 hours of being eaten—when glucose enters
your blood stream, it raises your blood glucose
levels.
Proteins and fats take longer to digest and are slower
to aect your blood glucose (within 2-6 hours). Too
much protein or fat can delay glucose absorption
and create higher blood glucose levels later. The
section “Bolusing for Meals”will teach you more
about bolusing for certain meals with the OmniPod®
Insulin Management System.

The American Dietetic Association www.eatright.org
Complex carbs include starchy foods and foods with
ber like whole grain pasta, rice, or bread. Fiber tends
to slow down the digestion of carbs and doesn’t
spike your blood glucose as quickly as simple carbs
do.
Simple carbs are digested easier and are absorbed
into your blood stream faster than complex carbs.
They can include table sugar, honey, syrups, regular
soda, fruit juice, jellies, and candies.

WHY CARBOHYDRATES MATTER
Carbohydrates are important because they provide
us with energy and essential vitamins and minerals.
Proteins and fats also contain calories, vitamins,
and minerals, but do not contain carbohydrates
unless the food is a mixed item like a casserole.
Carbohydrates are the primary foods that affect
glucose levels. Nearly 100% of digestible starches
and sugars become glucose within 2 hours of being
eaten—when glucose enters your blood stream, it
raises your blood glucose levels.
Proteins and fats take longer to digest and are
slower to affect your blood glucose (within 2-6
hours). Higher consumption of protein or fat at
meals can delay glucose absorption and create
higher blood glucose levels later*. The section
“Omnipod® Advanced Features” will teach you
more about bolusing for certain meals with the
Omnipod® Insulin Management System.
Complex carbohydrates include starchy foods
and foods with fiber like whole grain pasta, beans,
brown rice, or whole wheat bread. Choosing
less processed, whole grain products is not only
more nutritious, but the fiber can have a favorable
affect on your blood glucose and digestive health.
Simple carbohydrates include table sugar,
honey, syrups, regular soda, fruit juice, jellies and
candies. These foods are digested easier and
are absorbed into your blood stream faster than
complex carbohydrates.

inserted, hyperglycemia may result. Verify there is no wetness or scent of insulin, which may indicate the cannula has dislodged.
+ NEVER inject insulin (or anything else) into the ll port while the Pod is on your body. Doing so may result in unintended or interrupted
insulin delivery.
+Verify cannula does not extend beyond adhesive backing once needle cap is removed.

MAKINGTHE OMNIPOD®SYSTEM
A PERFECT FIT IN YOUR WORLD
It’s easy to nd a place for your Pod. And your Pod is tubeless and lightweight, so you can wear it with
freedom.
Where to wear your Pod.
It’s important to choose a new area every time when placing your Pod to avoid site overuse, which
could result in variable absorption. The new area should be at least 1 inch away from the previous
one, 2 inches away from the navel and not over a mole, scar, or tattoo, where insulin absorption may
be reduced. Be sure to put your Pod somewhere you’ll be comfortable—avoid sites where belts,
waistbands, or tight clothing may rub against, disturb, or dislodge the Pod.
How to place your Pod.
Arm and leg
Position the Pod vertically or at a slight angle.
Back, abdomen, and buttocks
Position the Pod horizontally or at a slight angle.
Pinching up
This step is important if
your Pod location is very
lean or doesn’t have much
fatty tissue. Place your hand
over the Pod and make a
wide pinch around your skin
surrounding the viewing
window. Then press the Start
button on the PDM. You can
let go when the cannula
inserts.

How to secure and remove your Pod.
Below are more ways to help secure and remove your Pod.* These tips from PoddersTM, nurses, and
doctors can help you stay tube and worry-free.
Prepping for your Pod.
Remember to stay cool and be cool (dry and not sweating) when it’s time to change your Pod. Here are
more potential sticking points:
Trouble
with… Problem Solutions
Oily skin Residue from soap, lotion, shampoo or conditioner
can prevent your Pod from staying secure.
Clean the area thoroughly with alcohol before applying
your Pod—and be sure to let your skin air-dry.
Damp skin Dampness gets in the way of adhesion. Towel o and allow your skin to air-dry; do not blow on it.
Body hair A lot of hair will prevent the Pod from
sticking securely.
Clip or shave the area with a razor to create a smooth
surface for your Pod to stick to. Do this 24 hours before
putting on your Pod to prevent irritation.
