Before deciding on the mylife OmniPod

® 

Insulin Management 

System, you and your healthcare provider discussed the advan-
tages and benefits of the mylife OmniPod System, as well as the 
responsibilities that come with insulin pump therapy. Remem-
ber: safe use begins and ends with you. If you have questions or 
doubts about being able to safely use the mylife OmniPod Sys-
tem at any time, consult your healthcare provider immediately.
Most problems are easily avoided by:
•

Learning all you can about successful diabetes management.

•

Being actively involved in your treatment.

•

Checking your blood glucose levels frequently.

•

Washing your hands and disinfecting infusion sites to reduce 

the possibility of infection.

•

Being aware of the signs of hypoglycemia (low blood glu-
cose), hyperglycemia (high blood glucose), and diabetic keto-
acidosis (DKA). (See “Avoid Lows, Highs and DKA” later in this 
chapter.)

•

Keeping a diabetes emergency kit with you at all times. (See 

“Prepare for Emergencies” later in this chapter.)

•

Knowing how to contact your healthcare provider in case of 
an emergency.

 

If you are unable to use the mylife OmniPod Insulin 
Management System according to instructions, you 
may be putting your health and safety at risk. Talk 
with your healthcare provider if you have questions or 
concerns about using the mylife OmniPod System.
