How Does the mylife OmniPod System Work?
The Pod is a small, lightweight, self-adhesive device that you fill
with insulin and wear directly on your body. The Pod delivers
precise, personalized doses of insulin into your body through a
small flexible tube (called a cannula), based on instructions that
you program into its wireless companion, the Personal Diabetes
Manager. The cannula is inserted only once with each Pod.

No tubing
There is no tubing connecting the Pod to the PDM. You wear the
Pod comfortably and discreetly under your clothes. You can carry
the PDM separately in a backpack, briefcase, or purse. With the
mylife OmniPod Insulin Management System, you don’t have to
worry about snagging, tangling, or feeling tethered by tubing.

Suggested bolus calculation
Calculating bolus doses has never been easier. After you check
your blood glucose, enter the carbs for your snack or meal. Based
on your individual settings, the System displays a suggested
bolus dose. You can accept the suggestion, change it, or cancel it.

Carb presets
To make carbohydrate counting easier, the mylife OmniPod Sys-
tem includes “carb presets.” You can enter your favorite foods,
snacks, or entire meals as “carb presets.” Presets contain the
grams of carbohydrate in the food item or meal. Next time you
eat this same food, you don’t have to count the carbs; just select
your carb preset and the System does the calculating for you.

The System stores up to 36 carb presets.
Automated cannula insertion
With the mylife OmniPod System, you don’t have to insert the
infusion set manually or carry around a separate inserter. You sim-
ply press a button on the PDM and the Pod’s automated
insertion system safely and consistently inserts the cannula
beneath the skin, virtually pain free. It then begins delivering
insulin according to your programmed basal rate.
