4.7. Avoiding Low and High Glucose

You can avoid most risks related to using the Omnipod GO Pod by
following the instructions in this User Guide for filling, applying,
and using a Pod and by promptly treating any symptoms of low
glucose. The easiest and most reliable way to avoid low and high
glucose is to check your glucose daily or as recommended by your
healthcare provider.

General Precautions

• Keep careful records and discuss changes and adjustments with
your healthcare provider.
• Tell your healthcare provider if you have extreme highs or lows, or
if highs or lows are occurring more often than usual.
• If you have technical problems with your Pod and cannot resolve
them, call Customer Care immediately.
Warning:
low glucose. Even if you cannot check your glucose, waiting to
treat symptoms could lead to severe low glucose, which can
quickly lead to shock, coma, or death.

Low Glucose

Low glucose can occur even when a Pod is working properly. Never
ignore the signs of low glucose, no matter how mild. If left untreated,
severe low glucose can cause seizure or lead to unconsciousness. If
you suspect that your glucose is low, check your glucose to confirm.

To treat low glucose

Any time your glucose is low, treat it immediately according to your
healthcare provider's instructions. Contact your healthcare provider
as needed for guidance.
