Using the Pod
53
5
The Pod automatically inserts the soft cannula below your
skin. It takes a few seconds to complete the insertion process.
Once the cannula is inserted, the Pod delivers a
prime bolus to
fill the cannula with insulin (Figure 5-20).
Once the soft cannula is inserted, the PDM indicates that the
Pod is active (Figure 5-21).
Figure 5-21 also displays a reminder to check the infusion site
and cannula. Make sure the Pod is securely attached to your
skin. You can see the cannula through the small viewing
window on the Pod.
You will hear a click when the cannula inserts.

Check the infusion site after insertion to ensure
that the cannula was properly inserted. It is also a
good idea to check your blood glucose about
two hours after after each Pod change and to
check the infusion site periodically. If the cannula is
not properly inserted, hyperglycemia may result.
If you observe blood in the cannula, check your
blood glucose more frequently to ensure insulin
delivery has not been affected. If you experience
unexpected elevated blood glucose levels,
change your Pod.
To help avoid condensation from occurring in the
viewing window, make sure both your Pod and your
insulin are at room temperature.
