Omnipod 5 System FAQ

What is the Omnipod 5 insulin pump system?

The Omnipod 5 is a tubeless insulin pump system designed to deliver insulin continuously and adjust insulin delivery based on your glucose levels. It includes a Pod, which is worn on your skin, and a handheld Controller that manages insulin delivery and settings.

How does the Omnipod 5 work?

The Omnipod 5 system combines an insulin delivery Pod and a Controller. The Pod delivers insulin directly into the subcutaneous tissue, while the Controller allows users to program insulin doses, view glucose levels, and make adjustments based on their needs. The system also integrates with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to adjust insulin delivery automatically.

What are the key features of the Omnipod 5?

The Omnipod 5 is a tubeless, wearable insulin pump offering several key features:

Automated Insulin Delivery (AID)
  • SmartAdjust™ Technology: Continuously monitors glucose levels using Dexcom G6 or G7 CGMs and automatically adjusts insulin delivery every 5 minutes to maintain glucose levels within a personalized target range.
  • Hybrid Closed-Loop System: Automates basal insulin adjustments while allowing for manual bolus insulin delivery during meals.
  • Improved Time in Range: Clinical studies show an average increase of 2.2 to 3.7 hours per day in the target glucose range.
  • Reduced A1C: Clinical studies indicate a reduction of 0.38 to 0.71% in A1C levels.
User-Friendly Design
  • Tubeless and Waterproof: Offers greater freedom and flexibility for users.
  • Wearable Pod: Small, discreet, and can be worn on multiple body sites.
  • Mobile App Control: Facilitates easy management of insulin delivery and glucose monitoring.
  • SmartBolus Calculator: Assists in calculating insulin doses for meals and corrections.
Other Features
  • Activity Settings: Temporarily adjusts target glucose levels for exercise.
  • Manual Mode: Provides the option for manual control of insulin delivery.
  • Compatible with U-100 Insulins: Includes NovoRapid, Humalog, and Admelog.

How is the Omnipod 5 different from other insulin pumps?

The Omnipod 5 stands out with its tubeless design, eliminating the need for external tubing. It also offers seamless integration with CGMs for automatic insulin adjustments, which can simplify diabetes management compared to traditional insulin pumps that require manual adjustments.

Can I use the Omnipod 5 with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM)?

Yes, the Omnipod 5 is designed to integrate with CGMs. The Omnipod 5 System is compatible with both the Dexcom G6 and G7 Continuous Glucose Monitors. To control the Dexcom G6 CGM, you need the Dexcom G6 App, while the Dexcom G7 CGM requires the Dexcom G7 App. Make sure to use the correct app for your specific CGM. This integration allows the system to automatically adjust insulin delivery based on real-time glucose readings, helping to maintain better glucose control and reduce the risk of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.

How often do I need to replace the Omnipod 5 pod?

The Omnipod 5 Pod is typically replaced every 72 hours or as needed based on your insulin needs and activity levels. Regular replacement helps ensure consistent insulin delivery and minimizes the risk of complications.

Is the Omnipod 5 covered by insurance?

Coverage for the Omnipod 5 varies depending on your insurance provider and plan. It's recommended to check with your insurance company to confirm coverage details and any potential out-of-pocket costs associated with the Omnipod 5 system.

How do I get started with the Omnipod 5?

It's best to consult with your insurance provider or the Omnipod company for detailed pricing information and potential financial assistance options.

Are there any potential side effects or concerns with using the Omnipod 5?

As with any medical device, there may be potential side effects or concerns with the Omnipod 5, including skin irritation at the Pod site, infections, or issues related to insulin delivery. It's essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and consult with your healthcare provider if you experience any adverse effects.

How do I insert the Omnipod 5 pod?

The Omnipod 5 Pod is inserted using a quick and easy applicator that comes with the system. You position the applicator on your skin, press the button to insert the Pod, and it will automatically secure itself in place. Detailed instructions are provided in the user manual, and training from your healthcare provider is available to ensure proper insertion.

Can I shower or swim while wearing the Omnipod 5?

Can I use the Omnipod 5 if I have allergies to adhesive?

The Pod adhesive is designed to be hypoallergenic, but if you have a known sensitivity or allergy to adhesives, you should consult with your healthcare provider before using the Omnipod 5. They may recommend alternative solutions or products to minimize the risk of an allergic reaction.

How do I adjust my insulin settings on the Omnipod 5?

Insulin settings on the Omnipod 5 can be adjusted through the Controller. You can set basal rates, bolus doses, and temporary basal rates according to your needs. The Omnipod 5 Controller also provides options to adjust based on glucose levels if you use a CGM.

Can the Omnipod 5 be used for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes?

The Omnipod 5 system is primarily designed for individuals with Type 1 diabetes, but it may also be used by some people with Type 2 diabetes who require insulin therapy. Consult with your healthcare provider to determine if the Omnipod 5 is appropriate for your specific diabetes management needs.

What should I do if I forget to replace my Omnipod 5 pod on time?

If you forget to replace your Omnipod 5 Pod at the scheduled time, you should replace it as soon as possible to maintain effective insulin delivery. If there's a significant delay, check your glucose levels more frequently and consult with your healthcare provider for further instructions.

What do I do after the Omnipod 5 pods have been used?

Used Omnipod 5 Pods should be disposed of according to local regulations for medical waste. Many users place the used Pods in a sharps container or a designated medical waste disposal bin. Consult your healthcare provider or regional waste management guidelines for proper disposal procedures.
