I was super excited until I saw 2024.
I was just thinking last night that my fanny pack would be so much lighter without that dang controller on long walks.
Oh well - something to look forward to.,

So glad to hear it’s finally out! Hope it works well and as hoped by so many!
Coming in 2024-the Omnipod 5 App for iPhone integrated with
Dexcom G6 CGM.
Control your Omnipod 5
System with the Dexcom G6 CGM your way. Enjoy the freedom and flexibility of a
single device.
BUT NOT WITH G7 !!
Yeah, looks like Dexcom and Insulet are on different development and FDA approval cycles. We were already on the G7 and went back to G6 after the G6/Omnipod was available. We didn’t have the right android phone, so my son’s still carrying a phone and the controller. However, he loves his pump/G6 combo. It does make life a lot easier for him as a teenager.
As someone who packs in his pocket an iPhone for Dexcom G6 CGM readings and an Omnipod 5 controller for insulin delivery, I have long hoped that Omnipod would develop iPhone connectivity.
Apparently, that linkage will occur several months from now.
But as fellow users observe, Omnipod 5 and the more advanced Dexcom G7 won’t be compatible.
Developing the iPhone/Omnipod 5/Dexcom G7 linkage is complicated.
However, it seems that Omnipod’s software engineering team should be working daily with Dexcom’s team to quickly achieve connectivity … with the G7.
So even after they link OP5 to Dexcom 7 I think they still have to start manufacturing all new pods? Not sure?
If this is the case I’ll be on g6 for quite some time. Especially considering that I’m a few months ahead on pods as it is. Maybe I’ll switch to g7 about the same time as a G8 rollout.
