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.
