Do NOT attempt to use the iXL Diabetes Management
System without first meeting with your healthcare
provider to receive training.
Your Important Role in Successful Pump
Therapy
Your healthcare provider will give you all the tools and training
you need to be successful with insulin pump therapy. However,
in the end, your success depends on YOU. You must become
actively involved in your own diabetes management if you want
to enjoy the outstanding control, freedom, and flexibility that is
possible with the iXL System. Being actively involved means:
• Frequently monitoring and recording blood glucose levels.
• Learning how to operate your iXL System and practicing
proper pumping techniques.
• Regular visits with your healthcare provider.
