Understanding and Delivering Bolus Doses

■ Cancel Active Boluses
The OmniPod System is extremely flexible, so you can use it to
respond to your changing insulin needs. It is easy to cancel an
active bolus (one that is currently being delivered), even after
insulin delivery has started.
1. Press and hold the Power button to turn on the PDM, if it is
not already on. An on-screen message appears as long as a
normal bolus is being delivered (Figure 4-9).
As a safety feature, the correction bolus is always
delivered first and cannot be extended. Only the
meal bolus can be extended. For example:
Total bolus = 5 units
Correction bolus 1 unit
Meal bolus 4 units
Deliver now = 2 units
100% of correction bolus 1 unit
25% of meal bolus 1 unit
Extend = 3 units
75% of meal portion 3 units
As a safety feature, you cannot deliver two extended
boluses at the same time. You can, however, cancel
the first extended bolus and replace it with another
(see “Replace an Extended Bolus” on page 37). And
you can deliver a normal bolus while an extended
bolus is being delivered.
