Changing an Omnipod 5 Pod: Step-by-step insertion for type 1 diabetes management

If you're curious about the Omnipod 5 Insulin Management System for people with type 1 diabetes and want to see a step-by-step change of the Pod insulin pump, this is the video for you.

How do you change a Pod? How long does it take? How much insulin can it hold? How long does each Pod last? Does it hurt? I've got you! I walk and talk you through the process of changing a Pod, which forms part of the Omnipod Automated Insulin Delivery System, also known as a hybrid closed loop system.

This is just to show you how I personally change the Pod as someone living with type 1 diabetes, so I hope it's helpful.

Speak to your healthcare team for the correct training or before making any changes to your diabetes management.
