Is it FDA Approved?

It's FDA approved for ages 2 and up.

How does the Omnipod 5 work?

Omnipod 5 has an algorithm built into the pod that automates insulin delivery and predicts glucose 60 minutes ahead to either increase, decrease, or pause insulin. This system can be controlled via an app on an Insulet-provided controller or compatible personal smartphone.

How can I or my loved one get access to one?

Omnipod 5 is available through the pharmacy and thanks to the partnership of Pharm406 in Billings, Montana. Pharm406 has knowledge in the process from start to finish and has been instrumental in many patients/families being able to get this diabetes technology.
Kyle Austin, President of Pharm406, shared his thoughts on the device:
The new insulin delivery device called “Omnipod 5” has been a game changer for diabetes, especially in children. These devices replace the syringe and needle and allow the patient to get the insulin they need without the hassle. These devices increase patient compliance and disease management to help prevent other complications and hospitalizations. Pharm406 has been excited and privileged to be a part of assisting patients to access to this new and modern technology to better serve our community’s here in Montana.
