This guide will help you feel comfortable taking care of someone with 
diabetes using the Omnipod

®

 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System.  

Let’s start with the basics! 

What is type 1 diabetes?

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease where the pancreas produces little  
to no insulin. People with diabetes need to replace the insulin their  
pancreas cannot make, either through injections or an insulin pump 
(standard or automated).

How do insulin pumps work?

Insulin pumps deliver insulin in two different ways, with basal and bolus doses. 

Basal insulin

 covers background insulin needed to keep glucose levels in 

range between meals and overnight. 

Bolus insulin

 is an additional dose of insulin needed for food (meal bolus) 

and/or to lower high glucose levels (correction bolus).

Insulin delivery in standard insulin pump therapy

Insulin delivery in Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) Systems

In AID systems like Omnipod

®

 5, automated insulin delivery is adjusted 

automatically based on continuous glucose monitor (CGM) values. With 
Omnipod 5, the system automatically increases, decreases or pauses  
insulin delivery every 5 minutes based on where glucose is predicted  
to be 60 minutes into the future.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Study in 240 people with T1D aged 6 -70 years involving 2 weeks standard diabetes therapy followed by 3 months Omnipod 5 use in Automated Mode. Average time in Target 

Glucose range (from CGM) for standard therapy vs Omnipod 5 in adults/adolescents = 64.7% vs. 73.9% and children = 52.5% vs. 68.0%. Brown et al. Diabetes Care (2021).

2. Study in 80 people with T1D aged 2 –5.9 yrs involving 2 weeks standard diabetes therapy followed by 3 months Omnipod 5 use in Automated Mode. Average time in Target 

Glucose range (from CGM) for standard therapy vs Omnipod 5 = 57.2% vs. 68.1%. SherrJL, et al. Diabetes Care (2022).

NOTE!

The Omnipod 5 System  

will always pause insulin 

delivery when glucose  

is below 60 mg/dL.
