Omnipod 5 is Now Available in France

Omnipod 5 is now available in France to people with type 1 diabetes, ages two years or older, and is compatible with the Dexcom G6 CGM. Omnipod 5 recently received reimbursement status from the French National Authority for Health (Haute Autorité de Santé or HAS), making the system accessible to eligible people with type 1 diabetes.

“Omnipod 5 has already had a huge impact on health outcomes for those with type 1 diabetes. Today, we celebrate the introduction of Omnipod 5 in France, which we know has been eagerly anticipated,” said Patrick Crannell, Senior Vice President and International General Manager. “The results of our studies demonstrate that Omnipod 5 improves quality of life and represents a significant advancement in diabetes management.”

Insulet has begun the full commercial launch of Omnipod 5 with Dexcom G7 sensor integration in the U.S. Omnipod 5 is the only tubeless automated insulin delivery system that connects with both Dexcom G6 and G7 sensors, providing more choice for people with type 1 diabetes.

New Omnipod 5 customers will receive the updated starter kit, which includes a new Pod compatible with both Dexcom G6 and Dexcom G7 and a Controller now featuring user-selectable Dexcom CGM options to connect to the Pod.
