Following a successful limited market release, the Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System (Omnipod 5) is now fully available with Dexcom G6 and Abbott FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus in these countries
“Expanding global access to Omnipod 5 is one of our top priorities. With the exciting, updated compatibility with both the Abbott FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus and the Dexcom G6 sensors, thousands more people with diabetes can enjoy the incredible freedom of tubeless, automated insulin delivery without having to change their CGM sensor brand. This is a game-changer for diabetes management,” said
Omnipod 5 is the first tubeless, waterproof1 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 A1c and improved time in range, while maintaining low time in hypoglycemia.2,3
“Pod therapy is great because it is tubeless, and easy to use,” said Dion Screever, an 18-year-old student from
Multiple sensor integrations including Dexcom G6 and Abbott FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus give prescribers greater flexibility when recommending a sensor for their patients and make it simple to begin AID therapy with Omnipod 5. Customers can select the sensor they would like to connect to Omnipod 5 during the setup process.
