Insulet Corporation 019 Manuale Utente

Current BG level: 100 mg/dL
Carb intake: 45 carbs
Meal IOB: 1 unit
Correction insulin on board (IOB): 0 units
Correction bolus: 100 mg/dL (current) – 100 mg/dL (target) = 0

0 ÷ 50 (CF) = 0 units

Meal bolus: 45 (carbs) ÷ 15 (IC ratio) = 3 units
Suggested bolus dose = 0 (correction) + 3 (meal) – 0 (IOB) = 3 U

Current BG level: 150 mg/dL
Carb intake: 60 carbs
Meal IOB: 0 units
Correction IOB: 1 unit
Correction bolus: 150 mg/dL (current) – 100 mg/dL (target) = 50

50÷ 50 (CF) = 1 unit

Meal bolus: 60 (carbs) ÷ 15 (IC ratio) = 4 units
Suggested bolus dose = 1 (correction) + 4 (meal) – 1 (IOB) = 4 U

When the suggested bolus calculator is turned On, the mylife 

OmniPod System applies these guidelines to the suggested 
bolus doses:
•

Suggested bolus doses are rounded down to the nearest 
0.05 U.

•

If the total of the suggested bolus calculation (correction 
bolus plus meal bolus) is less than zero, the suggested bolus 
dose is 0.00 U.

•

The System will not suggest a bolus dose if your current 

blood glucose (BG) reading is below the minimum BG you 
have set for bolus calculation (see Chapter 2, Getting Started, 
and Chapter 6, Using the Personal Diabetes Manager).

•

The System suggests a correction bolus only when your BG 

reading is above the correction threshold or correct-above 
value you have set (see Chapter 2, Getting Started, and
Chapter 6, Using the Personal Diabetes Manager).

•

Meal IOB, which is insulin on board from a previous meal 
bolus, is subtracted first from the current correction bolus, if 
any, until it is zero. However, any remaining meal IOB is never 
subtracted from the current meal bolus.

Meal IOB is never subtracted from another meal 
bolus – only from a correction bolus.
