4 Taking Care of Your Pod and Your Diabetes

Keep Supplies Accessible

On airplanes, trains, and buses, keep these items with you, rather
than checking them:
• Extra Pods
• Snacks and low glucose treatment, in case food is not available
• Bottled water (especially on planes) to prevent dehydration
• Bottles (vials) of insulin (cargo area temperatures may
affect insulin)
• A signed letter from your healthcare provider explaining that you
need to carry insulin supplies and the Omnipod GO Pod
• Prescriptions for all medications
• Medications and supplies with their original prescription label
• The name and phone number of your physician and of a
physician at your final destination
Note:
your country. Ask the pharmacist for help.
Note:
vacations (see "Emergency Kit" on page 12). As it may be
difficult or impossible to get insulin or supplies in an unfamiliar
place, take more supplies than you think you'll need.
Tip:
When you travel outside the country or for long periods
of time, be sure to take extra Pod supplies. Prior to departure,
contact your healthcare provider to inquire about additional
Omnipod GO Pods for your trip.

Airports and Flying

Before traveling by plane, familiarize yourself with the airport's
security procedures and prepare your diabetes supplies for the
security process and flight.
