Sounds like you were ahead of the game and ready to go! Nice job! That must’ve felt great! The wizard is useful if your ratios are right, but I [might also suggest using The Force](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/using-your-square-bolus/1556/30) and your knowledge to double check. Sometimes it’s a bit off or doesn’t know how to take into consideration your exercise level, other lifestyle stuff, etc. when making the wizard suggestion. > [@bpollina](#): > > She said I was too hairy so definitely recommended shaving first. We have gotten that advice from Omni pod directly as well. The one thing I will add, is that EH tried it once and got a nasty (probably staph) infection underneath the OmniPod when he did. The problem was that it was uncomfortable but then he ignored it and the adhesive+irritation made things get a bit ugly. It’s fine now. It was probably a one-off and won’t happen to anyone else, but here’s my suggestion of how to do a better job than we did: - use clippers/beard trimmer - the skin doesn’t need to be completely bare we’ve found - if you must use a razor, use a new blade, shaving cream, and shave the spot the day before and let it grow back a little if possible Glad you had a good session with the trainer and that you basically had done it right on your own!! Congrats on that! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/omnipod-trainining-tomorrow-suggestions/5405)._
