No tubing – more flexibility<br />
Discreet and wearable in so many places<br />
The <strong>mylife</strong> OmniPod ® has no tubing. There is no<br />
need for carrying a pump on a belt clip, in a small<br />
pouch under clothes, or in a bra. No more snapped<br />
or twisted infusion sets.<br />
No need to disconnect<br />
The world’s only truly continuous insulin delivery system<br />
In daily life quite a lot of pump users disconnect<br />
when showering, swimming, exercising or during<br />
intimate moments, leaving them with an interrupted<br />
basal insulin flow. Not anymore. The tubeless and<br />
waterproof Pod communicates wirelessly with the<br />
PDM, so there is no need to disconnect. No matter<br />
what activities your patient chooses to do there<br />
is no more hassle to disconnect and reconnect,<br />
giving your patient more time to live their life.<br />
STUDY<br />
Truly continuous insulin infusion<br />
A prospective, open-label study, published<br />
in Diabetes Care, measured the impact of<br />
short-term infusion set disconnects on glucose<br />
levels. The conclusion: A “30-minute interruption<br />
of basal insulin infusion resulted in significant<br />
glucose elevation; ~1 mg/dL for each<br />
minute basal insulin infusion was interrupted.” 3<br />
Because the Pod is worn directly on the skin,<br />
<strong>mylife</strong> OmniPod ® is the world’s only truly<br />
continuous insulin delivery system; patients<br />
have no need to disconnect. As a result, it<br />
promises better control and reduced glycemic<br />
variability.<br />

A Pod can be worn wherever an injection would<br />
be possible with insulin pen treatment (MDI/ICT).<br />
And because it’s so small, it attracts less attention<br />
and provides a feeling of freedom your patient<br />
doesn’t get with a conventional pump.<br />
