Set Up the Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM)
If you are a first-time mylife OmniPod System user, you need to
meet with your healthcare provider for training and System
setup before using it. To get a head start on learning about your
new mylife OmniPod System, review this User Guide. If you have
a basic understanding of the System in advance, you will get
more out of your training sessions.
Chapter 6 describes the PDM options in detail. The instructions
in this chapter are simplified to help you get started.
Turn on the PDM
1. Open the battery compartment on the back of the PDM
by pushing the compartment latch and lifting upward
(Figure 2-1). No special tools are necessary.
2. Insert two (2) new AAA alkaline batteries into the compart-
ment.
Do NOT use the mylife OmniPod
®
Insulin Management
System until you have been trained by your health-
care provider. He or she will initialize the System based
on your individual needs. Inadequate training or
improper setup could put your health and safety at risk.
Prepare and keep an emergency kit with you at all times
to quickly respond to any diabetes emergency. For
details, see Chapter 9, Living with Diabetes.
