Insulet Corporation, the global leader in tubeless insulin pump technology with its Omnipod® brand of products, has announced that its transformative Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) System is now available in the Middle East – including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The Omnipod 5 System simplifies diabetes management and has demonstrated strong glycemic outcomes, including improved time in range and lowering HbA1c, by automatically adjusting insulin delivery every five minutes and eliminating the need for multiple daily injections (MDI).
The waterproof, discreet, and wearable Omnipod 5 is the first tubeless AID system that communicates with a sensor and proactively corrects for highs and helps to protect against lows, day and night.
Omnipod 5 is indicated for individuals aged two years and older with type 1 diabetes and compatible with the Abbott FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor and the Dexcom G7 sensor in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the UAE, and with the Dexcom G7 sensor in Qatar.
Insulet is also launching Omnipod Discover, a proprietary and retrospective data analytics and reporting platform designed for Omnipod 5 users, their caregivers, and healthcare providers. Easy to access, Omnipod Discover streamlines the analysis of glucose and insulin delivery data and delivers meaningful insights — transforming complex information into clear, relevant trends and recommendations that inform diabetes management.
Omnipod Discover is being introduced in these Middle Eastern markets first, with plans to expand to other countries where Omnipod 5 is available.
With these new market launches, Omnipod 5 is now available globally in 19 countries with plans to launch in Spain (a new market for Insulet) in 2026, followed by Greece and Croatia in the first half of 2027.
