Hiya, this might be a silly question. I missed the section of training if you want to snack between meals when using omnipod. Do you just follow the same rules as when having a meal? Thanks in advance.

One thing that was emphasised to me when I started with a pump is that I need to bolus for all carbs including small snacks.
I have never used an Omnipod but all pumps I have used require no different process for snacks compared with meals.

Thanks, I was just a bit unsure as to whether I still input blood glucose level and carb amount or simply just put in carbs but it makes sense for both.
