Which of your paediatric patients may benefit from Omnipod® 5?
Scared of needles
Emma, age 3
- The youngest child in her family, she is curious and joyful
- Diagnosed 3 months ago, on a multiple daily injection (MDI) regimen, but she is scared of needles
- Recently hospitalised for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)
Let’s meet Emma’s parents
- They are anxious about the intensity of Emma’s MDI regimen and do not like giving her injections
- They are challenged by wide glucose fluctuations and fearful of nocturnal hypoglycaemia causing sleep disruption
- Currently evaluating therapy options to help improve glycaemic control and promote safety
Omnipod® 5 may help Emma and her parents as it removes the need for daily injections and shows improved glycaemic control over standard therapy in very young children.1
