Enter Your Blood Glucose Reading - Insulet Omnipod Dash User Manual

Enter your blood glucose reading

Note: While the Bolus Calculator can generate a suggested bolus dose based only
on the carbohydrates in a meal, you should always enter a recent blood glucose
reading for added safety and accuracy. This allows the Bolus Calculator to adjust
the suggested bolus to account for your current blood glucose level.
To enter a blood glucose reading:
1. Tap ENTER BG.
If the PDM has a blood glucose reading from within the last 10 minutes, that
value automatically appears in the BG field. If you want the Bolus Calculator
to use that value, skip the next step.
2. Tap the box in the circle and enter the blood glucose reading. Alternatively,
slide the indicator along the circle to enter the blood glucose reading.
While the Bolus Calculator will use any blood glucose value you enter
manually, you should only enter a blood glucose value that has been taken
within the last 10 minutes.
For the meaning of the colours and messages displayed on the Enter BG
screen, see "How Blood Glucose Readings are Displayed" on page 54.
3. Optional: To tag the blood glucose reading, tap ADD TAGS and tap a tag. Tap
again to deselect a tag. You can add up to four tags.
4. Tap ADD TO CALCULATOR. The Bolus Calculator screen reappears.
5. Review the suggested correction bolus, which is shown next to the blood
glucose value. The correction bolus has been adjusted for any insulin on
board (IOB) (see "Bolus Calculator rules" on page 150).
