Omnipod 5 Pods look similar, but different versions work with different sensors. Before ordering, check the label on the box as well as the name of your Omnipod system.
Which Pods work with your sensor?
Diabet12 offers two versions of Omnipod 5 Pods:
- Pods for Dexcom G6 and Dexcom G7. Both Dexcom sensors are listed on the packaging.
- Pods for Dexcom G6 and FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus. This version works with either of these sensors.
If you use Dexcom G7, choose Pods that list G7 on the box. If you use FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus, look for its name on the packaging. Pods labelled for Dexcom G6 and G7 do not support Libre 2 Plus.
Where can you check compatibility?
The supported sensors are shown in the upper-right corner of the box and on the individual Pod tray lid.
A Dexcom G6 label alone does not mean that a Pod also supports Dexcom G7 or FreeStyle Libre. Check the full label before you order.
It is also worth checking whether your system, controller or smartphone and the required apps are supported in the country where you plan to use them.
What about FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus?
In some countries, Pods labelled for both FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus and Libre 3 Plus are available. This is a separate version, so check the sensor names on the specific box.
Can you use Omnipod DASH Pods with Omnipod 5?
No. Omnipod DASH and Omnipod 5 use different Pods. Check which system you have before placing an order.
If you are planning to change your sensor or system, discuss it with your healthcare professional. You can also find more information on the Omnipod website.
