Freestyle Wear OMNIPOD Insulin Control System PODS diabetes Management System Insulin Pump Without Pipe

OmniPod is an injectable insulin pump developed by Insulet Corporation in

the U.S. and approved by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration). The system

consists of two parts, including the PDM (remote control) and the POD (pump). The

connection between the PDM and the POD eliminates the need for any catheter,

hence the name “tubeless pump”. This system injects insulin at a pre-set rate for

diabetics and, like the Medtronic and Dana pumps, is primarily used for injecting

insulin and does not have real-time ambulatory glucose monitoring (RT-CGM)

capabilities. Therefore, if you are a current Abbott Instant or Dexcom G5 user and

choose the Omnipod tubeless pump, you will still need to wear your existing

ambulatory.

wear your existing ambulatory. The Omnipod has been on the market for many years

and is a mature technology with many users.
