15About Automated Mode 15.1. About Automated Mode Warning: In Automated Mode, bolus doses for meals still require your programming and delivery based on your healthcare provider's recommendations. Failure to deliver a bolus when needed could result in hyperglycemia. Warning: The Omnipod 5 System cannot track insulin that is administered outside of the system. Administering insulin, such as by injection, while wearing an active Pod could result in hypoglycemia.
About Automated Mode15 Your baseline adaptive basal rate is based on how much insulin you needed in the past. Over time, the Omnipod 5 System will learn your daily insulin needs and adapt, resulting in your adaptive basal rate changing to better match your true insulin needs at every Pod change. The Pod contains the Omnipod 5 algorithm which adjusts your adaptive basal rate. You can stay in Automated Mode when the Omnipod 5 app is out of range from the Pod.
