Product Usage Instructions
SmartAdjustTM Technology Overview
The Omnipod 5 system features SmartAdjustTM technology that automatically adjusts basal insulin to meet the user’s dynamic insulin needs. It adapts to daily changes and long-term developments like weight changes, growth, and aging.
Time in Range Improvement
Users switching from multiple daily injections (MDI) therapy experienced significant improvements in time in range and time below range, as supported by clinical data.
Proactive Correction & Protection
The SmartAdjust technology proactively corrects and protects against high glucose values by delivering microboluses and adjusting insulin delivery to prevent hypoglycemia.
Strong Settings for Strong Results
It is essential to set up the system correctly to achieve optimal results. Ensure initial basal rates, target glucose settings, and SmartBolus Calculator settings are accurately configured.

MORE TIME TO FOCUS ON
YOUR PATIENTS
SmartAdjust™ technology adjusts basal insulin automatically
No need to fine-tune basal settings. It adapts to your patient’s dynamic insulin needs in daily life and can also cover long-term developments like changes in weight, growth, and aging.1
In the real world
Adults switching from multiple daily injections (MDI) therapy showed
at an average target of 110 mg/dL.*
*Forlenza G, et al. Diabetes Technol Ther (2024). 5,091 adult Omnipod 5 users with type 1 diabetes at the Target Glucose of 110 mg/dL who utilized MDI as prior therapy had a time in range of 71.3% and time below range of 0.90%. Omnipod 5 results based on users with ≥90 days CGM data, ≥75% of days with ≥220 readings available.
HELPS TO PROACTIVELY
CORRECT & PROTECT
SmartAdjust technology delivers up to 38% of TDI in response to missed meal boluses4
When SmartAdjust predicts high glucose values, it will deliver a microbolus up to 400% of the patient’s adaptive basal rate, every 5 minutes. Additionally, it will proactively decrease or pause insulin delivery to help protect against hypoglycemia2,3
Example user with Total Daily Insulin (TDI) of 48
SmartAdjust technology is driven by total daily insulin. Optimal results can be achieved with the right balance between automated insulin delivery and bolusing from the user.
System determines
the adaptive basal rate based on an approximately 50/50 basal-bolus split: 24 units of adaptive basal rate
Max correction: 4 units per hour
Around 9 am, hyperglycemia is predicted. As a response, the system increases microboluses every 5 minutes until the user’s glucose levels return into range.
Between 9 am and 12:30 pm, approximately 10.35 units were delivered. After the initial correction, insulin delivery is proactively decreased to help protect against hypoglycemia.2,3
STRONG SETTINGS FOR
STRONG RESULTS
Set your patients up for success with the following recommendations
Rethink settings! Transferring settings unchanged from other AID systems, Pumps or MDI therapy may not lead to the optimal results.
Initial basal rates
SmartAdjust uses the programmed Basal Rate to calculate the initial total daily insulin amount. Be sure initial basal settings accurately represent your patients needs:
- For patients transitioning from MDI, ensure that programmed basal rate accounts for 40- 50% of total daily insulin (basal+bolus)
- For patients transitioning from other pumps or AID systems, be sure to consider historical total daily insulin
After initiation, the programmed basal rates do not affect the Adaptive Basal Rate in Automated Mode.
Target Glucose settings
Pay close attention to Target Glucose, it is the only setting that directly impacts the aggressiveness of automated insulin delivery.
- 110 mg/dl Target Glucose generally results in increased time in range
- Consider higher Target Glucose settings during consistent times of greater risk for hypoglycemia
SmartBolus Calculator settings
With automated insulin delivery, expect a redistribution of basal to bolus insulin. To configure the SmartBolus Calculator for increased bolus insulin distribution, consider the following steps:
- Strengthen Insulin to Carbohydrate Ratios (up to 10-25% more*) and Correction Factors
- Remember that you might want to adjust the “Correct Above” setting when changing to lower Target Glucose
- Toggle OFF Reverse Correction, to calculate more bolus insulin when glucose is in target range
- Lower hours of Duration of Insulin Action to subtract less insulin from user-initiated boluses

Data analyzed to find the percentage of TDI administered in the 4-hour period following a missed meal bolus. Mean automated insulin delivery (% of total daily dose) of 15.6% delivered in the 4-hour period following an analysis of 1,370 missed meal boluses. Omnipod 5 results based on users with ≥90 days CGM data, ≥75% of days with ≥220 readings available, and average Target Glucose of 110 mg/dL. Bolusing with the Omnipod 5 System is recommended for meals.
