You can use OmniPod in tandem with any available continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) for tubing-free insulin delivery with unparalleled peace of mind. CGMS provides:
With minute-to-minute glucose information from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology like FreeStyle Navigator® or DexCom Seven Plus® you know if you are trending high or low. Confirm with a fingerstick, then use the PDM to immediately adjust your insulin and prevent acute events.
Many OmniPod users are already taking advantage of CGM technology. For instance, the members of Team Type 1 , who wear the OmniPod count on the FreeStyle Navigator® for instant access to their critical glucose information. As the team’s co-founder Joe Eldridge notes, “The FreeStyle Navigator works perfectly with OmniPod. They are both wireless, and together they make it very easy for me to fine-tune my sugars and prevent diabetes from affecting my racing results. OmniPod and the FreeStyle Navigator are both great alone, but much better together!”
With OmniPod + CGM, optimal control and all the comfort and convenience of being tubing-free really is simple.
