Feel Comfortable and Confident
With Your Omnipod DASH Pod
It's easy to find a place for your
Pod. And your Pod is tubeless
and lightweight, so you can
wear it with freedom.
Where to Wear Your Pod.
It's important to choose a new area
every time when placing your Pod
to avoid site overuse, which could
result in variable absorption. The
new area should be at least 2.5 cm
(1") away from the previous one,
5 cm (2") away from the navel and
not over a mole, scar or tattoo,
where insulin absorption may be
reduced. Be sure to put your Pod
somewhere you'll be comfortable—
avoid sites where belts, waistbands
or tight clothing may rub against,
disturb or dislodge the Pod.

Pinching up
This step is important if your Pod

much fatty tissue. Place your hand
over the Pod and make a wide
pinch around your skin surrounding
the viewing window. Then press
the Start button on the Personal
Diabetes Manager. You can let go
when the cannula inserts.
