Omnipod 5 Pack Pods (Original)

Moreover, the Original Omnipod Pods are pre-filled with insulin, simplifying the process of starting and managing insulin therapy. The pod’s automated insulin delivery mechanism allows users to program their basal rates and bolus doses using a handheld Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM). This device wirelessly communicates with the pod, enabling users to easily adjust their insulin delivery and monitor their glucose levels.

In addition, the design of the Original Omnipod Pods focuses on comfort and ease of use. Each pod is about the size of a matchbook, making it relatively unobtrusive compared to other insulin delivery methods. Furthermore, the pod features a smooth, rounded shape with a secure adhesive backing that sticks to the skin. This adhesive is designed to be durable and resistant to water, allowing users to maintain their normal activities, including bathing and swimming, without needing to remove the pod. Importantly, the cannula, which delivers insulin under the skin, is automatically inserted and retracted by the pod, thus reducing the need for manual insertion and minimizing discomfort.
