Introduction

Your individual needs influence the initial settings you and your
healthcare provider will enter into the Personal Diabetes Man-
ager (PDM) during setup (see Chapter 2, Getting Started).
Your healthcare provider must help you enter these initial set-
tings. Soon you will enter and change your own settings with
confidence and ease. The mylife OmniPod System is more user-
friendly than most electronic devices you use every day. In fact,
technology is what makes the mylife OmniPod System so easy to
use.
Your healthcare provider is a valuable resource. You will rely on
him or her for a lot of critical information about your mylife
OmniPod System, especially during the first few weeks and
months. When you have questions about diabetes management
after starting on the mylife OmniPod System, do not hesitate to
talk with your healthcare provider. For nonmedical emergencies
or for technical questions about your mylife OmniPod System
setup or operation, you can call Customer Care 24 hours a day, 7
days a week.

Your healthcare provider will give you all the tools and training
you need to be successful with the mylife OmniPod Insulin Man-
agement System. However, in the end, your success depends on
YOU. You must become actively involved in your own diabetes
management to enjoy the outstanding control, freedom, and
flexibility that is possible with the mylife OmniPod System.
Being actively involved means:
•
Frequently monitoring blood glucose levels
•
Learning how to operate your mylife OmniPod System and
practicing proper techniques
•
Visiting your healthcare provider
Do NOT attempt to use the mylife OmniPod® Insulin
Management System before you receive training
from your healthcare provider. Inadequate training
could put your health and safety at risk
