Omnipod® 5 With FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus Sensor Integration HCP FAQs

If you are using the Omnipod 5 App on an Insulet-provided Controller or compatible Android smartphone, you will receive the 3.1.1 update.

For a list of compatible devices visit omnipod.com/compatibility

The 3.1.1 software update brings new features, including the integration of Omnipod 5 with the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor and the introduction of Custom Foods. Additionally, the update will remove the Temp Basal Presets feature.

Note that the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor option will be available exclusively on the Omnipod 5 Controller.

The Custom Foods feature allows users to input and save carb amounts for typical meal sizes, favorite foods and snacks such as a smoothie, salad or coffee. In addition, you can add typical meal sizes such as small, medium and large or breakfast, lunch and dinner.

You can select from this list when bolusing for meals from your device using the SmartBolus Calculator for simplified mealtime math.

Temp Basal Presets are no longer a feature in the Omnipod 5 System. You can still set a Temp Basal while in Manual Mode by accessing Temp Basal from the Main Menu.

We're so excited to announce that Omnipod® 5 is now compatible with the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor and available today for your patients. To ensure your patients get the right Pod that works with the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor, the new Pods are only available through ASPN pharmacies as we continue to prepare for retail availability. Please note that insurance coverage for the new Pod will be limited at launch and continue to increase over time.

The Omnipod® 5 System is the only tubeless automated insulin delivery system integrated with the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor. Now with more choices in sensor integration including the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor, patients can start Omnipod 5 without changing from their preferred continuous glucose monitor (CGM/sensor) brand. Omnipod 5 with FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor integration features system control from a single device, the Omnipod 5 App on the Omnipod 5 Controller, and 15-day sensor wear.

Yes, Omnipod® 5 with the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor integration requires a new, compatible Pod. For the initial launch of Omnipod 5 with FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor, we've partnered with selected pharmacies to ensure users receive the compatible version of Omnipod 5 Pods. A new prescription is required for the new Pods. The FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor is prescribed separately. To learn more, please reference the prescribing instructions. https://www.omnipod.com/hcp/insurance-coverage/how-to-prescribe/omnipod-5-freestyle

To offer new sensor options for Omnipod 5 as quickly as possible, at times it is required that we run development programs in parallel. In the case of the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor integration, this resulted in the need for two different Pods to support Dexcom G6/G7 and Dexcom G6/Libre 2.

For your patients who are new to Omnipod 5, please send a prescription for both the Omnipod 5 with FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor integration Intro Kit and Refill Pods to ASPN Pharmacies. ASPN Pharmacies will ensure your patients receive the new Pods that are compatible with the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor. A separate prescription is needed for the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor (sensor prescription cannot be processed by ASPN).

We have partnered with ASPN to reduce the confusion at the pharmacy and the burden on your office. At this time, it is the only way to ensure your patients get the new Pod compatible with the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor while we work to get the new Pod into all pharmacies. 

If your patient is not covered for Omnipod® 5 with FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor integration, an Insulet representative will reach out to them to discuss alternative options including advocating for coverage for your Pods or using the Omnipod DASH System. A separate prescription will be required for the Omnipod DASH System.
