Consideraciones del paciente
Confort
Low profile & no tubing. Low profile sensor and Omnipod has no tubing but may require more adhesive on the body than other pumps.
Estilo de Vida Activo
Waterproof. The pod is waterproof, tubeless, and can be worn for most exercises. The PDM is not waterproof and must be charged daily. Data monitoring allows others to track blood sugar remotely.
Evitar los Altibajos
Personalized dosing. Pods can deliver personalized doses of rapid-acting insulin based on the rates programmed into the Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM) device to avoid highs and the ability to set zero basal rates to avoid lows.
Fácil de Usar
Fewer components. Pod has fewer components to deal with than other pumps and a touchscreen controller.
Fácil Dosificación de Insulina
Manually adjusting dosing. Omnipod DASH System allows the user to manually input their blood glucose (BG) readings from any BGM or CGM device of their choice. Basal and bolus in 0.05 increments.
Menos Pinchazos en Los Dedos
Frequent finger-sticks are required.
Privacidad
Discreet. Sensor allows for checking blood glucose on phone/smartwatch. The pod is the most discreet pump option but requires a visible controller to bolus.
