Insulet Corporation has announced that its Omnipod 5 is now compatible with the Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) in the UK and Netherlands.
The Omnipod 5 is the first tubeless, waterproof Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) System with proactive glucose control, approved for individuals with type 1 diabetes ages 2 years and older. It is the first and only tubeless AID System that integrates with the leading Sensor brands to automatically adjust insulin delivery and manage glucose levels, both day and night.
Omnipod 5 is a hybrid closed loop (HCL) System and has three main features:
- SmartAdjust™ technology: Every 5 minutes, SmartAdjust™ technology receives Sensor value and trend data, and it takes this information and predicts where glucose will be 60 minutes into the future. It then increases, decreases, or pauses automated insulin using the user’s customised Target Glucose.
- Activity Feature: The Activity feature increases the glucose target to 8.3 mmol/L (150 mg/dL) and reduces automated insulin delivery for up to 24 hours, for times when glucose typically goes low when, for example, exercising.
- SmartBolus Calculator: The only tubeless AID System with a built-in bolus calculator that will suggest bolus amounts based on individual settings, entered values, and CGM trends if glucose levels are static, rising or falling.
As well as now being compatible with Dexcom G7, Omnipod 5 can also link with Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus and Dexcom G6 Sensors in the UK and Netherlands.
