Exercising, playing sports or working hard
Check your blood glucose levels before, during and after exercising, playing sports
or doing unusually hard physical labour.
The Pod’s adhesive keeps it securely in place for up to 3 days. However, if
necessary, several products are available to enhance adhesion. Ask your healthcare
provider about these products.
Avoid getting body lotion, creams or oils near the infusion site; these products
may loosen the adhesive.
For some contact sports, if the Pod is in a location where it is likely to be knocked
off, consider removing the Pod and placing a new one in a more protected
location.
Be sure to check your blood glucose levels before removing the Pod and after
applying a new one. Pods are designed for single use. Do not attempt to reapply a
Pod that has been removed.
Tip:
If possible, plan removal times to coincide with a scheduled Pod replacement.
If you will need to remove the Pod for more than one hour, ask your healthcare
provider to recommend appropriate guidelines.
X-rays, MRIs and CT scans
The Pod and PDM can tolerate common electromagnetic and electrostatic fields,
including airport security and mobile phones.
Warning:
The Pod and PDM may be affected by strong radiation or
magnetic fields. Before having an X-ray, MRI or CT scan (or any similar test
or procedure), remove and dispose of your Pod and place your PDM outside
the treatment area. Check with your healthcare provider on Pod removal
guidelines.
Surgery or hospitalisation
For scheduled surgeries or hospitalisation, you should tell the doctor/surgeon
or hospital staff about your Pod. It may be necessary to remove it for certain
procedures or treatments. Remember to replace the basal insulin that was missed
while the Pod was removed. Your healthcare provider can help you prepare for
these situations.
