Pump therapy designed to make managing diabetes easier.

The world's first tubing-free system is discreet and durable. Wireless and watertight. And incredibly easy to use. The Pod holds and delivers your insulin—just use the adhesive to apply it almost anywhere on your body. The PDM (Personal Diabetes Manager) wirelessly programs your personalized insulin delivery, calculates suggested doses, and has a convenient, built-in FreeStyle® blood glucose meter. It really is that simple.

Here's what it means to you:

• Freedom to do what you want. When you want.

  Sleep late on the weekends, exercise spontaneously, skip a meal or indulge in a midnight snack. Ready for action? With no tubing to tangle, the OmniPod will never get in your way.

• No painful injections. No needles to handle.

  Just one quick insertion every few days covers your insulin delivery. You just push a button on your PDM and the OmniPod inserts itself. Insertion is quick and virtually pain-free.

• Get all wet.

  Wear the Pod in the shower, the tub, the pool, the ocean—without ever disrupting your insulin delivery.

• Dress as you please.

  You can wear the small, lightweight Pod anywhere on your body that you would take an injection. There’s no need to wear anything on your belt like other insulin pumps for diabetes and you have many choices beyond just your abdomen so it’s more discreet. Carry the PDM in your pocket, handbag or backpack.

• Like insulin delivery from a healthy pancreas.

  Pump therapy offers far better control than injections, significantly reducing highs and lows, dramatically decreasing the risk of diabetic complications.1-2 Maybe that's why people on pump therapy are more satisfied with their therapy, enjoy greater flexibility and worry less about hypoglycemia than people on injections.3
