If you are using the Omnipod 5 App on an Insulet-provided Controller or compatible Android smartphone, you will receive the 3.1.1 update.

For a list of compatible devices visit omnipod.com/compatibility

The 3.1.1 software update brings new features, including the integration of Omnipod 5 with the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor and the introduction of Custom Foods. Additionally, the update will remove the Temp Basal Presets feature.

Note that the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor option will be available exclusively on the Omnipod 5 Controller.

The Custom Foods feature allows users to input and save carb amounts for typical meal sizes, favorite foods and snacks such as a smoothie, salad or coffee. In addition, you can add typical meal sizes such as small, medium and large or breakfast, lunch and dinner.

You can select from this list when bolusing for meals from your device using the SmartBolus Calculator for simplified mealtime math.

Temp Basal Presets are no longer a feature in the Omnipod 5 System. You can still set a Temp Basal while in Manual Mode by accessing Temp Basal from the Main Menu.

Yes, Omnipod® 5 with the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor integration requires a new, compatible Pod. For the initial launch of Omnipod 5 with FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor, we've partnered with selected pharmacies to ensure users receive the compatible version of Omnipod 5 Pods. A new prescription is required for the new Pods. The FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor is prescribed separately.

To offer new sensor options for Omnipod 5 as quickly as possible, at times it is required that we run development programs in parallel. In the case of the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor integration, this resulted in the need for two different Pods to support Dexcom G6/G7 and Dexcom G6/Libre 2.

For your patients who are new to Omnipod 5, please send a prescription for both the Omnipod 5 with FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor integration Intro Kit and Refill Pods to ASPN Pharmacies. ASPN Pharmacies will ensure your patients receive the new Pods that are compatible with the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor. A separate prescription is needed for the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor (sensor prescription cannot be processed by ASPN).
