    How does the Omnipod 5® system work?

    The Omnipod® 5 is made up of three simple parts:

    • The Pod – The Pod is a small wearable device that you fill with insulin and wear directly on your body. It is tubeless, waterproof and attached to your body with adhesive.
    • The ControllerTake control of the system with the Omnipod® 5 Controller. Monitor and control the Pod's operations using Bluetooth® wireless technology
    • The Dexcom® G6 CGM system – The Dexcom G6 is a wearable continuous glucose monitoring device. The Pod and the Dexcom G6 constantly communicate to automatically adjust your insulin levels based on your real-time glucose values.

    The three parts of the Omnipod® 5 work together so that you can enjoy automated insulin delivery. It’s always adjusting – so you don’t have to.
