■ Suspend Insulin Delivery
Sometimes you may need to briefly stop insulin delivery (for
example, when editing an active basal program or changing the
time or date). The OmniPod System lets you suspend all insulin
delivery for up to 2 hours. While in suspension, the Pod beeps
once every 15 minutes, reminding you that insulin delivery is
suspended.
1. On the Home screen, use the Up/Down Controller buttons
to choose Suspend; then press Select.
2. Enter how long you want to stop all insulin delivery, from 30
minutes to 2 hours in 30-minute increments (Figure 5-23),
then press Enter.
3. Press Confirm to confirm that you want to halt all insulin
delivery (basal and bolus). The PDM beeps and an on-screen
message lets you know that insulin delivery is indeed sus-
pended (Figure 5-24).
The Pod beeps every 15 minutes until the end of the suspen-
sion period. The Status screen shows INSULIN SUSPENDED
until you resume insulin delivery (see “Resume Insulin Deliv-
ery” below).
At any time during a suspension period, press Resume
to resume the basal program that was running when you
suspended insulin delivery.
Extended boluses and temporary basal rates will be can-
celled when you suspend insulin delivery.
If a temporary basal or extended bolus is in process, the
menu item is Suspend/cancel instead, and options for
canceling these programs also appear in the menu. If
these options appear, choose Suspend insulin delivery.
