INTRODUCTION |
Welcome
WELCOME
Dear Podder™,
Welcome to your new Omnipod Insulin Management System.
®
We are delighted to have you on board.
What's different about the Omnipod System? Simple. Most insulin pumps have tubes. The Omnipod
® ®
System, however, is tubeless. But that's just a part of what makes the Omnipod System different and
®
makes people become dedicated Podders™.
The Omnipod ® System is a simple system consisting of just 2 primary parts – the tubeless Pod and the handheld
Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM) – that you keep nearby to programme your insulin delivery wirelessly*.
Made to be convenient and discreet, the Pod can provide up to 3 days of non-stop insulin delivery**. It can
be worn anywhere you would inject and it's waterproof***, meaning you can shower and swim as you please,
wear what you want, and do what you want. The Omnipod ® System helps simplify insulin delivery, so that
you can live your life and manage diabetes around it.
Please take time to read through this Podder™ resource guide and take it with you to your Omnipod ®
System training session, where your healthcare professional will assist you with the initial set up of your
Omnipod System.
®
It contains step-by-step instructions to help you activate,
place and change Pods, guide you through the key functions
and explore the advanced features on your PDM. There are also
troubleshooting sections and tips and reminders to help you
get the most out of your Omnipod System.

If you need help or have further questions, you can contact
your local Insulet Customer Care Team 24/7,
or visit us at myomnipod.com.
Yours sincerely,
The Insulet Team
