Alarms
Alarms require your immediate attention (see page 187). If you ignore an alarm,
you could develop hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. When an alarm occurs, the
Pod will beep and the Omnipod 5 app will beep or vibrate if sound/vibrate is on.
Hazard alarms (
) are accompanied by a continuous vibration or tone and
interrupt anything else the Omnipod 5 app is doing except another hazard alarm.
For example, a hazard alarm is issued if the Pod runs out of insulin.
Advisory alarms (
) alert you to some aspect of the Omnipod 5 app or Pod that
needs your attention in the near future. For example, if the level of insulin in your
Pod is getting low, the Omnipod 5 app issues an advisory alarm.
