Get to know Omnipod DASH®
Insulin delivery—simplified
Omnipod DASH is a small, wearable insulin delivery device for people with insulin-requiring diabetes. We call it Pod Therapy because it's different than traditional bulky, tubed pumps in the ways that matter most to you.
Two simple parts:
Demonstrated results
Lower A1c**
2.3% reduction in A1c among adults with an A1c of >9%; -1.3% A1c reduction across all study participants1,2
Less insulin use
35 unit reduction in total daily insulin doses among prior Multiple Daily Injections (shots) users1,2
Fewer lows
Self-reported hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) events reduced by almost half (-42%) from 1.2 down to 0.7 episodes/week1,2
**Adults with insulin-requiring type 2 diabetes experienced a significant reduction in A1c, hypoglycemic events (low blood sugar events) and total daily insulin dose after only 3 months on Omnipod in a retrospective Study of 3,592 patients.1,2
“Before, diabetes was just controlling me, now, I’m controlling it … DASH is making it all possible…it’s a life saver, plain and simple.”

Easy to operate†
Fill the Pod
The Pod comes with a syringe. You simply fill the Pod with a compatible U-100 Rapid Acting Insulin.
Stick it on
Place the Pod almost anywhere you would give yourself an injection. The cannula (a small, soft and flexible tube) inserts automatically.
Tap and get going
Use your PDM to activate the Pod and control your insulin delivery with a few taps on the screen.
†For full instructions, please see the DASH User guide
Mealtime insulin on the go!
Imagine, no need to inject before meals. Omnipod DASH® features fixed mealtime doses called presets. You can customize then save them in your PDM making dosing for meals (Bolus dose) not only quick but discreet. Delivering mealtime insulin is as easy as a few taps on your Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM).
“People with type 2 diabetes often need mealtime insulin to finally have more control over their condition. The Omnipod DASH® Insulin Management System is a great option and maintains diabetes quality of life.”

1. Study in 3,592 people with type 2 diabetes aged 18 and older comparing baseline therapy to 3 months of Omnipod or Omnipod DASH use. Average A1c at baseline vs. 3-months of Omnipod = 9.2 vs. 7.9%. Average TDD at baseline vs. 3-months of Omnipod = 103 vs. 71. Average Self- Reported Hypoglycemic Events at baseline vs. 3-months of Omnipod = 1.2 vs. 0.7 (All p<0.0001). A1C and TDD outcomes were from medical records or self-reported if medical records not available. Carlson, AL et al. Diabetes Res Clin Pr. (2021)
2. In A1C subgroup analysis (n) baseline vs. 3-month of Omnipod use average A1C values were <7% (n=346): 6.4% vs. 6.6%; 7 to <8% (n=726): 7.5% vs. 7.2%; 8 to <9% (n=775): 8.4% vs. 7.7%, ≥9% (n=1745): 10.8% vs. 8.5%, respectively. Carlson, AL et al. Diabetes Res Clin Pr. (2021)

It is not valid for cash-paying participants or where prohibited by law. A participant is considered cash-paying where the participant has no insurance coverage for Omnipod DASH® or where the participant has commercial or private insurance but Insulet determines in its sole discretion the participant is effectively uninsured because such coverage does not provide a material level of financial assistance for the cost of an Omnipod DASH® prescription.

• The copay card covers a thirty (30) days’ fill of Pods.
• The Program offers to participants a Maximum Monthly Benefit of up to $100. The actual monthly benefit depends on the participant’s out-of-pocket costs, for a copay target of $50.

• The participant shall not receive any benefit if at any point their monthly copay is equal to or lower than $50.
• The participant shall not receive a monthly benefit of more than $100, even if the target copay of $50 is not reached, when the participant’s monthly copay is greater than $150.
