■ Your Role: Safely Using the OmniPod System
Your healthcare provider will give you all the tools and training
you need to be successful with the OmniPod Insulin Manage-
ment System. However, in the end, your success depends on
YOU. You must become actively involved in your own diabetes
management to enjoy the outstanding control, freedom, and
flexibility that is possible with the OmniPod System.
Being actively involved means:
• Frequently monitoring blood glucose levels
• Learning how to operate your OmniPod System and practic-
ing proper techniques
• Visiting your healthcare provider
