The handheld, smartphone-like PDM features an intuitive interface that allows customers to wirelessly control the Pod to deliver customizable basal rates and bolus amounts. The Pod provides up to 72 hours2 of continuous insulin therapy and allows individuals to simplify life with no more daily injections.\n\n“The Omnipod System has been a vital part of my diabetes management since 2013 and I am excited that the Omnipod DASH is coming to Canada,” said Esther Funk, a Registered Nurse and Certified Pump Trainer living with Type 1 diabetes. “The touchscreen design makes it simple and easy to operate. Thank you Insulet for continuing to provide new and innovative options for diabetes management.”\n\nRebecca Redmond, who will be among the first individuals in Canada to use the Omnipod DASH System, says, “When it comes to the Omnipod DASH, I am most excited about the Pod Site Tracker as a tool to help me rotate my Pod sites, which makes insulin absorption more effective. This is an example of how Omnipod DASH supports better, more proactive diabetes management. I am also looking forward to the new touchscreen and the fact that it looks like a smartphone.”\n\nInsulet plans to launch the Omnipod DASH System throughout Canada on a province-by-province basis throughout 2021 to coincide with reimbursement by provincial health programs.\n\nFor more information visit please visit www.omnipod.com.\n\n1.
