Glossary
Suggested bolus calculator
A feature that calculates bolus doses with user-specific settings
and inputs. The settings used to calculate a suggested bolus are
target BG, insulin-to-carbohydrate (IC) ratio, correction factor (CF),
and duration of insulin action. The inputs used to calculate a sug-
gested bolus are current BG and carbs entered. The bolus
calculator can be turned Off or On in the PDM.
Target blood glucose level
The ideal number at which you would like your blood glucose
level to be. The OmniPod System uses this number in calculating
bolus doses.
Temp basal
A basal rate that is used to cover predictable, short-term changes
in basal insulin need. Temporary rates are often used during exer-
cise and for sick-day insulin adjustments.
Temporary basal preset
An adjustment in a basal rate, in either % or U/hr, that can be
assigned a custom name and preprogrammed into the PDM.
