Omnipod 5 and FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus:
Powerful integration to revolutionise diabetes management
Using our SmartAdjust™ technology, Omnipod 5 and FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus work together in constant communication as part of an Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) system, also known as a Hybrid Closed Loop (HCL) system.
The system smoothly responds to predicted glucose levels by automatically increasing, decreasing or pausing insulin delivery depending on whether glucose levels are rising or falling.
