2 Applying or Removing a Pod

2.1. About the Pod

The Pod is a lightweight device that you fill with insulin and wear
directly on your body. The Pod delivers insulin into your body through
a small, flexible tube called a cannula. You apply the Pod to your skin
with an adhesive tape, similar to an adhesive bandage.
You won't manually turn the Pod ON or OFF. After you fill
the Pod with insulin, the Pod will immediately prepare to
insert the cannula 3 minutes after you see the amber light,
so you'll need to have the Pod properly applied to your skin
before the 3 minutes are up. If it takes you longer, the Pod
will be unable to deliver insulin to you and you'll need to
start over with a new Pod.
The Pod automatically delivers the amount of insulin that it was
prescribed to deliver. You should change yo ur Pod at least once every
3 days. Consult with your healthcare provider if you feel your insulin
needs to be adjusted.
Tip: Read this entire chapter and use the Learning Resources
listed on page 2 before using the Omnipod GO Pod for the first
