High five!
Insulet announces full commercial launch of Omnipod
5 with expanded sensor integrations in the UK (and
the Netherlands).
In mid-June 2024, Insulet
Corporation announced that
Omnipod 5, compatible with both
Dexcom G6 and FreeStyle Libre
2 Plus continuous glucose monitor
(CGM) sensors, is now available in
the UK and the Netherlands for
people aged two years and older with
Type 1 diabetes.
Omnipod 5 is the first tubeless
automated insulin delivery (AID)
system with proactive glucose
control. The system is designed to
be customer-centric and aims to
deliver exceptional ease of use. It has
demonstrated strong clinical results
including lower HbA1c and improved
time in range (TIR), while maintaining
low time in hypoglycaemia.
Access to the product may vary
in each country and locality, so
immediate availability will depend
on local circumstances. Anyone
interested in learning more about the
Omnipod 5 system needs to speak to
their healthcare professional (HCP)
who will be able to guide them.
Omnipod 5 is the first and only
tubeless AID System that integrates
with the leading sensor brands to
automatically adjust insulin delivery
and manage glucose levels, both
day and night, which may help
protect against high and low blood
glucose levels.
Three parts
Insulet has been pioneering tubeless,
waterproof insulin delivery for nearly
25 years with the goal of improving
the lives of people with diabetes
across the globe. The Omnipod 5
system consists of three parts.
• A tubeless, waterproof and
wearable Pod
• The Omnipod 5 Controller with
SmartBolus Calculator
• A compatible sensor (not included,
requires a separate prescription.
Users can enter Automated Mode
right after sensor warm-up. The
Controller comes with a free sim
card data plan allowing therapy data
to transmit automatically to the
Insulet cloud so that care partners
and healthcare providers can access
it remotely.
