About Omnipod 5

Omnipod® 5 is the only tubeless automated insulin delivery system integrated with multiple CGMs for proactive glucose control, no multiple daily injections, zero fingersticks*, and is fully controlled by a compatible smartphone.

Omnipod 5 System consists of the tubeless, waterproof^† and wearable Pod, the Omnipod 5 App with SmartBolus Calculator, and a compatible CGM sensor. The Pod is enhanced with SmartAdjust™ technology to continuously adjust and correct insulin delivery using a customizable glucose target.

The Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System is integrated with multiple CGM sensors. Visit the CGM Sensor Integrations page for more information.

The Omnipod 5 System is indicated for the management of type 1 diabetes in people 2 years of age and older and by adults with type 2 diabetes ages 18+.

We are excited to announce that Omnipod 5 is now the first and only automated insulin delivery system cleared for use by adults with type 2 diabetes. People can start experiencing the benefits of Omnipod 5 today! In the coming months, we will release a software update that will introduce new features, including custom foods, expanded sensor integrations with the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor, and other enhancements to further improve the customer experience.

The Omnipod® System and Omnipod DASH® Pods are not compatible with the new Omnipod 5 System. The new Omnipod 5 Pod is powered by an algorithm for automated insulin delivery and the Controller software is specific to the new Pod. The Omnipod 5 System is integrated with both Dexcom G6 and G7, and therefore, currently has two Pods in the market: a Pod that is only compatible with the Dexcom G6 CGM, and the new Pod that is compatible with both Dexcom G6 and Dexcom G7.

To make sure you are using the right Pod for your system, please refer to the labeling on the individual Pod packaging.

Omnipod 5 is a hybrid closed-loop system, which automatically adjusts basal insulin with the user manually delivering bolus insulin to cover meals.

Automated Mode uses the CGM value and trend to make an insulin dose adjustment every 5 minutes using a customized glucose target. In Manual Mode, the System delivers insulin using a programmed basal rate. With the Omnipod 5 System, the user has the choice of whether they want to use Automated Mode or Manual Mode.

The Omnipod® 5 System is the only tubeless automated insulin delivery system integrated with Dexcom G6 and G7 CGM to continuously adapt and deliver insulin to your personal needs. Manual bolusing is required for meals and correction boluses.

The Omnipod DASH® System is not integrated with the Dexcom G6 or Dexcom G7 CGM and is not capable of automated insulin delivery, but rather delivers insulin based on the user's programmed basal rates for continuous basal delivery. Manual bolusing is required for meals and correction boluses.

The Omnipod 5 System is available for use in English and Spanish. Insulet will continue to bring additional Spanish language resources to market.

Yes. The Omnipod 5 Pod will provide automated insulin delivery for up to 72 hours.

You may have noticed a small change in the look of your Pod - a small dimple on the top of the casing. This change was made as part of an update to our manufacturing process to help support our growing Podder® community. It is still the same Pod and will not impact the use of your Omnipod product.

Please continue to use and fill your Pods as instructed in the User Guide: https://www.omnipod.com/current-podders/resources
