Omnipod® - Multiple Daily Insulin Injections (MDI)

One way to deliver basal and bolus insulin is with pens or syringes and vials. Since injections are required several times a day, this is called multiple daily insulin injection therapy or MDI for short. MDI therapy typically includes a long-acting insulin to address basal needs and a rapid-acting insulin to address bolus needs.
Basal insulin is a constant supply of insulin that is meant to cover the body's baseline need for insulin, even during times of fasting.
Along with basal insulin, bolus doses are needed to keep your blood glucose within target, particularly after eating meals. A bolus dose is an additional dose of insulin delivered for meals (also known as a meal bolus) and/or delivered to bring down high blood glucose values (also known as a correction bolus).
