Omnipod Insulin Management System provides up to 3 days of non-stop insulin management without daily injections. Its insulin pump system lets you manage insulin delivery simply and discreetly. Read answers to frequently asked questions.
From the Massachusetts-based medical device company Insulet Corporation, the Omnipod line of insulin delivery systems offers a fresh approach for insulin management to people with diabetes. US MED sells the Insulet Omnipod and Insulet Omnipod DASH systems, both of which utilize tubeless, waterproof “Pods” for insulin delivery.
Insulet Omnipod
Diabetes management doesn’t have to be a chore when you’re using the Omnipod insulin pump! The system’s internal reservoir, pumping components, and insertion components are all included in a small, wearable “Pod.”
Benefits
Insulin Without The Hassle
The Omnipod system is capable of delivering insulin without the use of shots or tubing.
Manage Your Diabetes
With the Personal Diabetes Manager, you’ll be able to check your glucose levels and review your records.
Dive Right In
The Pod can go as deep as 25 feet underwater for up to an hour - you won’t have to remove it before swimming or showering.
A Wearable Device You’ll Forget You’re Wearing
Your Pod will weigh just 0.88 oz. (not including insulin).

Frequently Asked Questions
The Omnipod and Omnipod DASH systems are not available for cash/credit purchase from US MED at this time.
Since January 1, 2019, Omnipod systems have been covered under Medicare Part D, which focuses on prescription drugs.
Insulet Omnipod systems are meant for use with rapid-acting insulin. The Omnipod® System is designed to use rapid acting U-100 insulin. The following U-100 rapid acting insulin analogs have been tested and found to be safe for use in the Pod: Novolog®/NovoRapid®, Humalog® or Apidra®, and Fiasp.
Omnipod Pods hold up to 200 units of insulin. They need to be filled with at least 85 units to start operating.
You should fill your Omnipod with the fill needle and syringe included in its package. Other needles or filling devices should not be used with Omnipod systems.
