Who is right for
Omnipod DASH®?

Give your patients the
freedom of choice.

Your goal of controlling diabetes may be the same, but you know that the treatment needs for each patient are different.

For many patients, and for many different reasons, the simplicity of Omnipod® is a game changer.

 

Patients struggling with multiple daily injections (MDI)

For some patients, MDI are fine, and work well enough at controlling diabetes. For others, MDI are an ongoing hassle and barrier to their quality of life. When was the last time you asked your MDI patients if “good enough” wasn’t good enough?

Simple from the start

Some patients need a simple solution for their diabetes management, right from the start. For your patients who would have difficulty reliably managing MDI, and who also might struggle with the complexity of a tubed pump — Pod Therapy might be the perfect fit. 

Frustrated pumpers

Many patients start with a different insulin pump, but find that for a variety of reasons, it doesn't suit their lifestyle. Pod Therapy is an alternative to traditional tubed pumps that can give these patients more freedom and simplify diabetes management. 

DO YOU HAVE PATIENTS USING MDI WHO:

For some patients, fitting insulin injections into their busy schedules can be difficult. Some may be self-conscious or ashamed of injecting in public. Some may have anxiety, or a fear of needles and injections. And for these reasons they may find themselves skipping meals or correction doses.

Kaleb is a former MDI user who found that MDI were not a good fit for his busy schedule.

  • Skipped correction doses due to busy schedule
  • Felt self-conscious when giving injections in public settings
  • Felt MDI limited his active lifestyle
    • Had to carry more supplies wherever he went  
    • Self-injection required administering in a private place, which interrupted his daily activities  

For patients like Kaleb, switching to Omnipod DASH® can be a life changer that improves their quality of life.

DO ANY OF YOUR PATIENTS:

Some patients are going to need extra support managing their insulin, and for them and their caregivers, simplicity matters. 

The Omnipod DASH System is designed to help simplify the management of type 1 diabetes and has been shown to fit with all ages and lifestyles. Podders are a variety of patient types, from parents learning how to manage their child’s needs to adults and older patients who want freedom from MDI.

Skye is incredibly strong. She doesn’t complain and thankfully now that she is on the Omnipod DASH System, I am able to control her insulin delivery at night a lot better without needing to wake her up for injections.”

DO YOU HAVE ANY CURRENT PUMPERS THAT ARE:

Some patients are sick of getting physically tangled in tubes, embarrassed by tubed pumps, or having to make clothing choices to accommodate tubed pumps. Disconnecting tubes for these patients makes a quality-of-life difference immediately.

The first time I disconnected my previous tubed pump and used a Pod instead for my insulin delivery, I danced through my living room. I seriously could not stop dancing. I felt so free!

The Pod is a revolution in insulin therapy - No tubes, less needle sticks, constant insulin delivery for 3 days - no disconnect. All of these factors improve adherence among people with diabetes and, as a result, dramatically improve clinical outcomes and quality of life.”
