Innovation in Every Pod

One small, tubeless and waterproof2 Pod, which is made up of 74 pieces, consistently and accurately delivers insulin for people with diabetes through customizable basal rates and bolus presets.

The Pod holds up to 200 units of rapid-acting U-100 insulin and replaces up to 14 daily injections.3

The Pod includes auto-cannula insertion, that eliminates the necessity of handling the insertion needle, while providing a virtually pain-free path for insulin delivery.
