Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD) (Insulet or the Company), the
global leader in tubeless insulin pump technology with its Omnipod®
brand of products, today announced the Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin
Delivery (AID) System is now compatible with Abbott’s FreeStyle
Libre 2 Plus continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor in the U.S.
This makes Omnipod 5 the most connected tubeless AID system in the
U.S.
“We are excited to announce that Omnipod 5, the only AID system
indicated for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, is now integrated
with Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor in the U.S. This latest
innovation will allow millions of Americans who take insulin the
ability to get started on Pod therapy using their preferred CGM
sensor,” said Eric Benjamin, Insulet’s Executive Vice President and
Chief Product and Customer Experience Officer. “As we work to reach
more people with our innovative, tubeless Omnipod 5 AID System,
today’s announcement represents yet another significant step
forward for our Company and our customers.”
The Omnipod 5 System simplifies diabetes management and has
shown to improve results by eliminating the need for multiple daily
injections (MDI) therapy and automatically adjusting insulin
delivery every five minutes using its advanced SmartAdjustTM
technology. As the number one prescribed and number one favorite
pump1 in the U.S., the waterproof2, discreet, and wearable Omnipod
5 is the first tubeless AID system that communicates with a CGM,
proactively correcting for highs and helping to protect against
lows, day and night3,4,5.
Omnipod 5 user John Rowley, who lives in the United Kingdom
where the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor integration launched
earlier this year, had been using MDI for 36 years before making
the switch to Pod therapy.
“Having spent more than half my life injecting myself with
insulin, Omnipod 5 with its connection to my FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus
sensor has been truly liberating. When you have diabetes, there is
so much more to think about when it comes to daily life,” said Mr.
Rowley. “Omnipod 5 has made my life so much simpler, with much less
to carry around with me, and less to worry about overall.”
