Insulet has commercially released the Omnipod 5 in the UK and the Netherlands for those two and older with type 1 diabetes. 
 
The Omnipod 5 is compatible with Dexcom G6 and Abbott FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus continuous glucose monitor (CGM) sensors. It is the first and only tubeless automated insulin delivery (AID) system integrated with the leading CGM sensor brands, Dexcom and Abbott FreeStyle Libre.
 
This follows the limited market release of the Omnipod 5 in the U.S. with the app for iPhone.
 
“Expanding global access to Omnipod 5 is one of our top priorities. With the exciting, updated compatibility with both the Abbott FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus and the Dexcom G6 sensors, thousands more people with diabetes can enjoy the incredible freedom of tubeless, automated insulin delivery without having to change their CGM sensor brand. This is a game-changer for diabetes management,” said Patrick Crannell, Insulet Senior Vice President and International General Manager.
 
The Omnipod 5 is a tubeless, waterproof ¹ AID system that is designed to be consumer-centric with ease of use. It has demonstrated strong clinical results including lower A1c and improved time in range, while maintaining low time in hypoglycemia.^2,3
 
Professor Partha S. Kar, Type 1 Diabetes and Technology Lead at NHS England and a consultant endocrinologist at Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust said, “The recent integration of Omnipod 5 with the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor will allow the life changing benefits of AID to be brought to many more people throughout the U.K., and also in the Netherlands. This is an exciting next step on this incredible journey to simplify life for people with type 1 diabetes.”
 
Integrations with multiple sensors give prescribers greater flexibility when recommending a sensor for their patients and make it simple to begin AID therapy with Omnipod 5. Customers can select a sensor to connect to Omnipod 5 during the setup process.
