My review of Omnipod 5

So if you wanna do that, you need to use the phone slot for your on-ice Dexcom readings, because the omnipod5 needs the receiver slot. If that is the case, there is really only 1 option. (My other idea involved you still using your receiver as you had been doing, but turning off the loop with omnipod5 and directing it to a different (non-existent transmitter.))

So the simple way would be to use the phone slot. But of course you don’t want to carry a phone on the ice!

But you could use this:

Since the watch can be set to either use the receiver or phone slot, you would set it phone, and only use it during games. Just turn OFF your Dexcom app on your phone during games so there is no interference when you are on the bench.

It’s small, could either be worn on your wrist under your gloves, or attached to your waistband.

And everything else would still work, looping with the omnipod would still work, etc.

And it’s only about $100, so not too expensive.
