Omnipod® 5 App now compatible with Dexcom G7
As of June 2025, the Omnipod® 5 App for iPhone is compatible with the Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System and is available for download on the Apple App Store. Previously, the Omnipod® 5 App for iPhone was exclusively compatible with the Dexcom G6. This update allows insulin delivery and CGM data to be integrated into a single smartphone platform, eliminating the need for the Omnipod® Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM). The application is compatible with both the Dexcom G7 and G6, so users have the option to switch between these devices.
When the app is first initiated, the prior learned data regarding individual insulin needs is not carried over. The algorithm uses the programmed settings to begin re-learning insulin needs, adapting over subsequent Pods. Automated Mode can be enabled with the first Pod, with full adaptation occurring over several days to weeks. The Omnipod 5 App (v3.0.1) for Android smart phones has been compatible with Dexcom G7 since July 2024.
