15.2. About the DexcomG6 in Automated Mode
While in Automated Mode, the Omnipod 5 System relies on your CGM values
to deliver the correct automated insulin delivery. CGM values and trends are also
used by the Bolus Calculator.
It is important that your
Dexcom G6 is functioning properly. To ensure CGM
accuracy, be aware of your CGM values. If you are experiencing symptoms that
do not align with your CGM values, use a separate BG meter to test. Refer to your
compatible CGM User Guide for details on inaccurate CGM values.
If you are receiving inaccurate CGM values, you may decide to switch to Manual
Mode until you are condent that CGM values are accurate.
15.3. Bolus Settings and Importance of a Bolus
In Automated Mode, the Omnipod 5 System will automatically deliver insulin
every 5 minutes. However, you will still need to deliver a Bolus dose for meals. For
information on how to deliver a bolus, see "Chapter 8: Delivering a Bolus with the
Bolus Calculator" on page 89.
When delivering a bolus, it is recommended to:
• Use your CGM value in the Bolus Calculator. is will ensure that your CGM
trend is included in the calculations and necessary adjustments are made to
account for the trend.
• Review the Bolus Calculator calculations for accuracy. If the calculations
show an amount you are not expecting, cancel the bolus and begin again.
• Always look for the progress bar to conrm that delivery has begun before
exiting the Omnipod 5 app.
Note: If you leave the Omnipod 5 app for an extended period of time while
making changes to your insulin delivery programs, you may lose the information
you have entered.
