Newest "Omnipod 5" controller with full starter kit which includes rechargeable battery and charger cable included. Also includes 11 pods in the starter kit ($375 value).
Touch screen. Best improvement yet to automatically monitor Dexcom G6 glucose readings and delivery insulin without any human intervention.
Can link electronically with Dexcom G6 to read glucose levels and automatically deliver insulin to maintain readings between your specified boundaries (for example, 100 to 150). It is essentially an automated pancreas to do what diabetics don't do naturally or efficiently.
Full 1 year warranty included. For use with newest "Omnipod 5" pods only (will not work with Eros or Dash pods)
Needs a US prescription to be able to register the controller even if you have an international prescription. I have a referral for an online US doctor that others have used successfully to get a US prescription/registration (Nominal consultation fee - About $150).
