How the Omnipod 5 Works

The Omnipod 5 is a revolutionary insulin pump from Insulet (USA) that radically changes the daily lives of people with type 1 diabetes. No tubes, no injection buttons, and no cables—just a small, waterproof pod that attaches directly to the skin and automatically delivers insulin on command from a smartphone or PDM controller.

The system consists of three simple components that work together 24/7:

  • Pod — a waterproof capsule-shaped device with a 72-hour supply of insulin (up to 200 units), which attaches to the arm, abdomen, or thigh.
  • PDM controller or smartphone app — controls the pump wirelessly via a secure connection.
  • Dexcom G6 sensor — measures glucose levels every 5 minutes and transmits the data to the pump.

The SmartAdjust algorithm inside the pump analyzes glucose readings in real time, predicts changes 60 minutes in advance, and automatically adjusts insulin delivery. This means fewer nighttime hypoglycemic episodes, more stable blood sugar, and less worry about diabetes every day.

What’s Included in the Omnipod 5 Package

We’ve put together the entire device ecosystem—from the pod itself to consumables and compatible accessories:

    Omnipod 5 Controller (PDM) — Insulin Pump Controller

    24000,00 ₴

    The Omnipod 5 Controller (PDM — Personal Diabetes Manager) is a control device from Insulet Corporation designed to manage the Omnipod 5 tubeless automated insulin delivery system — an insulin pump that operates without tubing and continuously adjusts insulin delivery based on glucose levels, integrating with a monitoring system. The controller connects to the Pod via Bluetooth and, together with a compatible CGM sensor (Dexcom G6, G7, or FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus), provides fully automatic insulin adjustments every 5 minutes—day and night.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is the Omnipod 5 Controller waterproof?
    No. The Controller (PDM) is not waterproof. Only the Pod is waterproof (IP28 rating: up to 7.6 m deep for 60 minutes). The Controller should be kept away from water.

    Who is the Omnipod 5 system intended for?
    The Omnipod 5 system is approved for people with type 1 diabetes aged 2 and older and those with type 2 diabetes aged 18 and older.

    Which CGM sensors are compatible with the Omnipod 5?
    The Omnipod 5 system is compatible with the Dexcom G6, Dexcom G7, and FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus. The sensor transmits glucose data directly to the Pod, where the SmartAdjust™ algorithm determines the insulin dose.

    How often does the algorithm adjust insulin delivery?
    The SmartAdjust™ algorithm, built directly into the Pod, automatically increases, decreases, or pauses insulin delivery every 5 minutes based on CGM data and a glucose forecast up to 60 minutes in advance.

    Benefits and Features

    The SmartAdjust™ algorithm in the Pod: The algorithm is built directly into the Pod—it analyzes your current glucose level and trend from the CGM and automatically adjusts your basal insulin delivery every 5 minutes without any action required from you.

    Glucose forecast up to 60 minutes in advance: The system predicts future glucose levels and responds proactively, even before deviations from the target range occur.

    Customizable glucose target range: The target range of 6.1–8.3 mmol/L is set individually to meet the patient’s needs.

    SmartBolus Calculator: Takes into account the current CGM glucose level, its trend, and insulin on board (IOB) to accurately calculate the pre-meal bolus dose.

    Activity Mode: Raises the target level to 8.3 mmol/L and reduces automatic insulin delivery for a selected period (1 to 24 hours)—ideal for exercise.

    Data Transfer via SIM Card or Wi-Fi/Bluetooth: The built-in prepaid SIM card in the controller automatically uploads data to the Glooko platform without the need for a cable connection.

    Bluetooth connectivity: The Controller maintains constant two-way communication with the Pod via low-energy Bluetooth.

    Rechargeable battery: The built-in lithium-ion battery charges via a standard USB-C cable.

    How to Use

    1. Charge the Controller using a USB-C cable before first use.
    2. Enter the settings recommended by your doctor: target glucose level, basal rates, bolus factors, and correction factors.
    3. Install and activate the Pod (sold separately), and fill it with insulin according to the instructions.
    4. Connect a Dexcom G6, G7, or FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus CGM sensor—it will automatically begin transmitting data to the Pod.
    5. The system will switch to automatic mode: the SmartAdjust™ algorithm will adjust insulin delivery every 5 minutes.
    6. If needed, use the SmartBolus calculator on the Controller or in the app to administer a bolus before a meal.
    7. Check your data regularly in the app and on the Glooko platform, and share your reports with your doctor.

  • Omnipod 5 Pods — змінні поди для інсулінової помпи

    Omnipod 5 Pods — Replacement pods for the Omnipod 5 insulin pump (10 pcs.)

    14500,00 ₴

    Omnipod 5 Pods are disposable wearable modules from Insulet Corporation that form the core of the Omnipod 5 tubeless automated insulin delivery system — an insulin pump that operates without tubing and continuously adjusts insulin delivery based on glucose levels, integrating with a monitoring system. Each Pod attaches directly to the skin and contains a built-in micro-pump, an insulin reservoir, and the SmartAdjust™ algorithm, which automatically adjusts insulin delivery every 5 minutes based on data from a CGM sensor (Dexcom G6, G7, or FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus). A single Pod provides up to 72 hours (3 days) + 8 additional hours of continuous insulin delivery without injections or external tubing.

    ❓ Frequently Asked Questions

    How much insulin can the Pod hold?
    The Pod can be filled with up to 200 units of U-100 insulin. The minimum amount required for activation is 85 units.

    Is the Pod waterproof?
    Yes. The Pod has an IP28 waterproof rating: tested at depths of up to 7.6 m for 60 minutes. You can swim, shower, and exercise without removing the Pod.

    Where can you place the Pod on your body?
    You can attach the Pod almost anywhere you would normally give yourself an insulin injection: the abdomen, the outer part of the shoulder, the thigh, the lower back, or the buttocks. Check with your doctor for recommended sites.

    Do you need to adjust the Pod manually?
    No. The SmartAdjust™ algorithm is built directly into the Pod and automatically adjusts insulin delivery every 5 minutes. Bolus doses before meals are administered via the remote control.

    Which insulins is the Pod compatible with?
    The Pod is compatible with U-100 rapid-acting insulin analogs: NovoRapid (aspart), Humalog (lispro), and Admelog (lispro). Use of other insulins must be approved by your doctor.
