Alerts and Reminders
In addition to automatic safety alarms (see Chapter 10, Alerts and
Alarms), the mylife OmniPod System offers a number of personal
settings to help you manage your diabetes. These features are
optional. You can turn them on or off at any time, except for the
alerts. Those you can set at levels that you find convenient to
remind you to change your Pod.
Notifications you can use are:
BG (blood glucose) reminder:
Reminds you to check your blood
glucose. Choose from
On
or
Off
. The default setting is
Off
. When
the reminder is on, the PDM asks you each time you enter a bolus
dose whether you want to set a BG reminder, and you can then
choose a time interval, in 30-minute increments.
Pod expiration:
Reminds you when the Pod is nearing the 72-
hour expiration time. Choose a period from 1 to 24 hours before
expiration, in 1-hour increments. The default setting is 4 hours.
You will hear 2 sets of beeps every minute for 3 minutes. The
notification will repeat every 15 minutes until you press
OK
to
acknowledge it.
Low reservoir:
Alerts you when insulin in the Pod reaches a cer-
tain level, so you can plan ahead to change the Pod. Choose a
level from 10 to 50 units, in 5-unit increments. The default setting
is 10 units.
Some settings have preset defaults, but all settings
are changeable. See the Appendix for a list of Sys-
tem specifications, including preset default settings.
For additional details on bolus and basal settings,
see Chapter 3, Understanding and Adjusting Basal
Rates, and Chapter 4, Understanding and Deliver-
ing Bolus Doses.
