ACTON - Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD), the global leader in tubeless insulin pump technology, is excited to announce that the Omnipod 5 App for iPhone is now compatible with the Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System.
With this latest integration, the Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) System combines the benefits of tubeless AID and Dexcom's latest diabetes management technology, all conveniently controlled from an iPhone.
'This integration represents a major milestone in our commitment to providing innovative solutions for diabetes management,' said Eric Benjamin, Insulet Executive Vice President, Chief Product and Customer Experience Officer. 'With the addition of the Dexcom G7 sensor to the Omnipod 5 App for iPhone, our U.S. customers have more choice with fewer devices to keep track of, making it easier than ever to manage their diabetes.'
Omnipod 5 proactively adjusts insulin delivery every five minutes, autocorrects for high glucose, and helps protect against lows, day and night-even while you sleep. The Omnipod 5 App for iPhone, available in the U.S., offers full control of Omnipod 5 including the ability to bolus, change a Pod, adjust settings, access valuable insights, and more.
'The Omnipod 5 App for iPhone means less stress with better control! Plus, I feel like I lost a few pounds, since I don't have to carry around a Controller anymore,' joked Garrett Vogel, a nationally syndicated radio personality who has lived with type 1 diabetes for 30 years and has been using Omnipod 5 since 2023. Garrett was previously using Omnipod 5 with Dexcom G7 and the Controller. 'I thought bolusing with the Controller was easy, but the Omnipod 5 App on my iPhone makes it even easier. I love it.'
The Omnipod 5 App with Dexcom G7 and Dexcom G6 compatibility is now available for download on the Apple App Store.
Insulet remains dedicated to advancing diabetes technology and improving the lives of people with diabetes.
