FAQs
The Omnipod 5 is a tubeless insulin pump system designed to deliver insulin continuously and adjust insulin delivery based on your glucose levels. It includes a Pod, which is worn on your skin, and a handheld Controller that manages insulin delivery and settings.
The Omnipod 5 system uses a combination of an insulin delivery Pod and a Controller. The Pod delivers insulin directly into the subcutaneous tissue, while the Controller allows users to program insulin doses, view glucose levels, and make adjustments based on their needs. The system also integrates with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to adjust insulin delivery automatically.
The Omnipod 5 stands out with its tubeless design, eliminating the need for external tubing. It also offers seamless integration with CGMs for automatic insulin adjustments, which can simplify diabetes management compared to traditional insulin pumps that require manual adjustments.
Yes, the Omnipod 5 is designed to integrate with CGMs. The Omnipod 5 System is compatible with both the Dexcom G6 and G7 Continuous Glucose Monitors. To control the Dexcom G6 CGM, you need the Dexcom G6 App, while the Dexcom G7 CGM requires the Dexcom G7 App. Make sure to use the correct app for your specific CGM. This integration allows the system to automatically adjust insulin delivery based on real-time glucose readings, helping to maintain better glucose control and reduce the risk of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.
