Prescribing Omnipod® 5
Simplify Life™ for adults living with type 1 diabetes (T1D)
Offer your patients the freedom and flexibility of on-body, personalised T1D control that improves glycaemic outcomes vs prior therapy, while improving patient-reported outcomes.*1,2
With Omnipod® 5, you can offer your adult patients:
Individualised delivery
Adjusting over time to your patients’ needs, with SmartAdjust™ technology to help protect them against highs and lows*†1
Everyday freedom
Tubeless, waterproof‡, on-body, Automated Insulin Delivery (AID), so there is no need to disconnect from AID for showering or exercise.
Improved outcomes vs prior therapy
Improved glycaemic outcomes that go hand-in-hand with improved patient-reported outcomes, such as reduced diabetes distress and lower stress when eating†1,2
† Results from a pivotal single-arm, multicentre, prospective study in 112 children aged 6–13.9 years and 129 adolescents/adults aged 14–70 years.1
‡ The Pod has a waterproof IP28 rating for up to 7.62 m (25 feet) for 60 minutes. The Omnipod® 5 controller is not waterproof. The Dexcom G6 sensor and transmitter are water-resistant and may be submerged under 2.4 m (8 feet) of water for up to 24 hours without failure when properly installed.
See the clinical evidence for yourself
The benefits of Omnipod® 5 in adults and adolescents with T1D have been established in a pivotal, prospective clinical trial. Significant improvements were demonstrated in glycaemic control with Omnipod® 5 vs prior therapy, alongside improvements in psychosocial outcomes.*1-3
Which of your adult patients may benefit from Omnipod® 5?
Active lifestyle and lives alone
Miles, 64
- Machinist, nearing retirement
- Active lifestyle, on the job and through daily exercise
- Widowed; lives alone
- Diagnosed with T1D over 40 years ago
- HbA1c over 9% and total daily dose is 65 units
- Despite his best efforts, his HbA1c is not at goal and he is worried about hypoglycaemia, particularly overnight
- He uses a glucose sensor currently, but fears wearing a pump and the complexity it would bring
Omnipod® 5 may help to simplify Miles’ management of his T1D, if he can be offered reassurance to address his concerns. Switching to Omnipod® 5 has demonstrated improved glycaemic control vs prior therapy, an important potential benefit for Miles, who is not reaching glycaemic goals.1
On AID but not usually in automated mode
Janet, 34
- Middle school teacher
- Busy mother of 3 young girls
- Diagnosed with T1D 15 years ago
- HbA1c over 7%, and tends to experience hyperglycaemia throughout the day
- Currently using an AID pump and is not tempted to switch
- Not spending the majority of time in automated mode
Omnipod® 5 can offer Janet the benefits of simplified T1D management. She already utilises AID, however she does not spend most of her time in automated mode. Omnipod® 5 can offer improvements in glycaemic control vs prior therapy, and 96.7% of adults stayed in automated mode in a pivotal study.1 This is an important potential benefit for Janet, whose glucose levels tend to run high throughout the day.
