How tubeless Pods compare to multiple daily injections and tubed pumps
Insulin therapy can be delivered in different ways, but the question you may be asking is: how does life change when you switch to a Pod? Whether you’re coming from multiple daily injections (MDI) or a traditional tubed pump, here’s a quick, everyday look at how Pods compare to both options.
Pod vs Multiple Daily Injections (MDI): Simplicity
- One Pod, up to three days (72 hours), instead of multiple injections every day
- Automatically adjusts background insulin every 5 minutes based on your glucose levels, day and night, when paired with a compatible sensor
- Discreet and comfortable: a small Pod that sits under clothing
- Reduce Stress: Omnipod 5 users stress less about their diabetes1
Pod vs Tubed Pumps: Freedom
- Completely tubeless, so nothing snags or tangles
- Small Pod worn directly on the body
- No device to clip on or hide in pockets
- Stays out of the way during sleep, sport, work, or everyday life

1. Renard E, et al. Diabetes Care. 2024. doi:10.2337/dc24-1550. A 13-week randomised controlled trial conducted among 194 adults (age 18-70 years) with type 1 diabetes in France and the U.S., comparing the safety and effectiveness of the Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) System versus conventional non-AID pump therapy and CGM (control). Mean Type 1 Diabetes Distress Scale (T1- DDS) total score at 13-weeks: Control = 2.08, Omnipod 5 = 1.72. Mean adjusted difference in change in T1-DDS score, Omnipod 5- Control = 0.18, P=0.0094. Mean proportion of participants with clinically meaningful change ≥0.19 (%) at 13-weeks: Control = 45.0%, Omnipod 5 = 53.8%. Mean adjusted difference, Omnipod 5—control = 24.3%, P=0.0145.
