What is Omnipod?

Omnipod® gives you more with less

Omnipod provides non-stop insulin delivery through a tubeless, waterproof* insulin pump called a Pod—all with no multiple daily injections. Get up to 3 days (72 hours) of continuous insulin delivery and freedom with these innovative features:

  • Wearable: Place the Pod almost anywhere you’d normally inject
  • Waterproof*: Take your insulin anywhere life takes you, even while swimming
  • Tangle-proof: Forget the tubes of traditional insulin pumps
*The Pod has an IP28 rating for up to 25 feet for 60 minutes. The Personal Diabetes Manager and Controller are not waterproof.

How Omnipod Works

Omnipod tubeless systems are made of two main components, the Pod and a smartphone-like Controller. The Pod is a small device that you fill with insulin and wear directly on your body. The Pod receives insulin delivery instructions from the Controller. It then delivers insulin into your body through a small, flexible tube called a cannula.​

Omnipod® 5:
All systems go

With Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System, your diabetes devices are in sync without tubes to tie you down. It’s everything Omnipod users love about DASH‡—waterproof†, wearable, tubeless—and so much more: 

  • SmartAdjust™ technology automatically increases, decreases, or pauses insulin every 5 minutes, based on your customized target—helping to protect against highs and lows, day and night. 1,2 

  • Activity feature when enabled, reduces insulin delivery when glucose typically goes low, like when exercising. 

  • SmartBolus calculator, the only AID system with a built-in bolus calculator that automatically incorporates your CGM value and trend, so you don’t have to. 

You will still need to bolus for meals. With Omnipod 5, this is done with the Omnipod 5 App or Controller.
