| Concerns | Why Omnipod |
|---|
- sometimes forget or skip doses.
| Omnipod DASH provides up to 3 days (72 hours) of insulin minimizing missed doses.
- sometimes struggle to get my A1C to where my Doctor recommends.
| T2 patients using Omnipod DASH saw a reduction in A1C by 2.3% in a retrospective study.1,2
- Taking insulin injections multiple times per day gets in the way of my lifestyle.
| Omnipod DASH replaces multiple daily injections(MDI – long acting, mealtime and corrections). One Pod replaces 14 injections.†
- don’t like giving myself injections in public.
| You don’t have to. The Pod is small and discrete, and the Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM) offers the flexibility to manage your insulin treatment in the palm of your hand.
- Carb counting and logging meals is time consuming.
| No more meal time logging. Omnipod DASH has a preset bolus feature and an integrated bolus calculator and the CalorieKing® library of 80,000+ foods.
- I don’t think I can afford a pump.
| On average people pay less than $50 per month,‡ and those on medicare even less. Plus, no longer need long-acting Insulin while on Omnipod DASH.
- I am not confident that I will be able to learn how to operate it—will someone help me?
| Omnipod is designed to be simple to operate. Once you fill your prescription and have your new Omnipod DASH you will be connected to a Certified Pump Trainer and Omnipod Specialist to help get you started.
- Is Omnipod DASH approved for people with T2 diabetes?
| Omnipod DASH is approved for people with Insulin-requiring type 2 diabetes—and because it is through the pharmacy no c-peptide test required.
