Here is an email from Insulet regarding Omnipod 5 updated app and pods:

"Omnipod 5 will soon feature an enhanced algorithm including a new, lower 100 mg/dL Target Glucose, designed for more time in range.

In the next few days, your Omnipod 5 app will give you the option to install a software update. When prompted, follow the instructions on your Omnipod 5 app screen to install the update. It should only take a couple of minutes. If you experience any trouble updating the app, reference our How-to Guide.

New features require compatible Pods

Once you complete the update, and have compatible Pods, you will be able to access the new features. Pods compatible with Dexcom G6/G7 and manufactured after January 1, 2026 support the new 100 mg/dL Target Glucose setting today. The full algorithm enhancements suite is available with compatible Pods, marked with a black dot and R1 notation in the upper right corner of the Pod box or tray lid.

Compatible Pods will be in an upcoming refill

Continue getting your Pods as you do today - no new prescription is needed. Compatible Pods are shipping to pharmacies and will be included in an upcoming refill as availability broadens this summer.

Thank you so much for being a valued Podder®! We’re so excited to bring this new technology to the community.

Just found out via LnL Newsletter that Omnipod 5 should be operable via DIY Loop and Trio by the end of the summer. A new component of the software in Loop and Trio has been in the works for a while and is able to control Eros, Dash, and O5 pods. Testing is being conducted by a select group now; testing will be expanded to those using the dev version of both software packages shortly, and as long as the testing doesn’t determine something wrong, then it will widen to all comers. If you’re interested in check out Omnipod 5 — Open-Source AID.

Thanks for the news @TomH! That would be great if it can work.

HEY! A new box of pods I just opened allows me to set the target glucose to 100! So it looks like the rollout is already happening. I thought I’d be waiting for weeks. It seems to be working great, as far as I can tell. (I had just gotten my prescription refill last week.)
