As a healthcare professional, you understand that diabetes management needs vary significantly from patient to patient. Each individual’s journey with diabetes requires a tailored approach to ensure optimal outcomes, and finding the right insulin delivery method is a crucial part of that process. The Omnipod DASH® System offers a simple and flexible solution, ideal for many patients—especially those seeking to reduce the daily complexities of diabetes management.

Omnipod DASH is a tubeless, waterproof* insulin delivery system designed to simplify life for insulin-requiring patients. But who is it best suited for? Let’s explore.

Which Patients are Ideal for Omnipod?

Omnipod is particularly beneficial for patients who rely on multiple daily injections (MDI) but face certain challenges in managing their condition, such as:

  • Skipping insulin doses due to busy schedules or anxiety about needles.
  • Seeking fewer interruptions in their daily lives, with more freedom for activities like exercise, work, and leisure.
  • Feeling overwhelmed by their current insulin management routine and desiring a simpler solution.
  • Struggling to maintain glycemic control despite consistent effort with their current regimen.

For patients facing these obstacles, Omnipod DASH provides an easier, more convenient option for insulin delivery. The streamlined, tubeless design eliminates the hassle of daily injections and allows for greater flexibility in day-to-day life.
