Insulet OmniPod DASH Pump
Say goodbye to manual injections with the Omnipod DASH® Insulin Management System. This wearable pod provides 72 hours or 3 days of continuous insulin delivery. Unlike bulky tubed insulin pumps that are typically worn on a belt or waistband, the Omnipod DASH is a tubeless device that attaches directly to the body. Also known as a patch pump, Omnipod DASH is easy to use and designed for individuals living with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.
This Omnipod insulin pump consists of two parts: the lightweight and waterproof pods and Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM). The PDM, a small handheld device similar to a smartphone, easily communicates with the insulin pod via Bluetooth for seamless insulin management.
Use the PDM’s bolus calculator to easily determine insulin dosage or create bolus presets that you can label and save for repeated use. There is also a CalorieKing® integration which includes a library of 80,000 foods.
Compatible with any rapid-acting insulin, each pod comes with a fill needle/syringe to easily dispense insulin into the reservoir. Discreetly and safely program insulin delivery anytime with Omnipod DASH.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
There are many factors to think about when choosing between the DASH and the 5. One of the biggest is whether you prefer to manually program insulin delivery, or prefer automatic insulin delivery. If you like to manually adjust your insulin, you’ll like the DASH.
Change pods every 3 days or after delivering 200 units of insulin.
Yes. Omnipod DASH is covered through Medicare Part D.
The Insulet Omnipod DASH system is compatible with rapid-acting insulin. Analogs such as NovoLog/NovoRapid, Humalog, Fiasp and Apidra have been tested for safe use with the Omnipod DASH.
Each pod holds up to 200 units of insulin. This lasts around 3 days. You’ll need to fill the reservoir with at least 85 units to start operating the system.

No. The Omnipod DASH is not a closed loop system. You must manually program insulin delivery with the PDM. If you’re looking for a closed loop system, try the Omnipod 5, which is a hybrid closed loop system that is compatible with continuous glucose monitoring devices.
If paying cash, the starter kit is $660 and the refill pods range from $200-$300.
