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 />
