The Pod may be placed over any subcutaneous tissue in most places one would deliver an
insulin injection. Please note the recommended positioning for each body area. The individual’s
Diabetes Management Plan or healthcare provider should indicate any preferred sites.
POD PLACEMENT OPTIONS
SITE SELECTION
Change the site location each time you apply
a new Pod; improper site rotation can reduce
insulin absorption. The new site should be at
least 2.5 cm away from the previous site,
5 cm away from the navel, and not over
a mole or scar.
OPTIMAL ADHESION
Always clean the site thoroughly with an
alcohol swab to remove all body oils and
lotions, which may loosen the Pod’s
adhesive. Let the site air-dry completely;
do not blow on the site to dry it.
