Omnipod® 5 Series
Tips on how to optimise settings* from the Juicebox Podcast.
From getting started on the System to answering the top questions from Omnipod 5 users, we’ve partnered with Scott Benner of the Juicebox Podcast to create these episodes to help you get the most out of your Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System.
Note: At the time of these recordings, the Omnipod 5 System was compatible with the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) only. Omnipod 5 is now compatible with additional CGMs (compatible in Australia with: Dexcom G6 and G7 and FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus). This Podcast was filmed in the US and therefore might refer to glucose levels in MG/DL instead of MMOL/L
