Medical device correction: Omnipod 5 (Insulet – March 2026)

Mar. 2026Pharmacy Updates

The pods are being corrected because some pods may have a small tear in the inner tubing that delivers insulin. This tear could cause insulin to leak inside the pod instead of being fully infused into the body as intended. If insulin is not delivered properly, the person wearing the pod may experience high blood glucose levels. This can lead to a serious medical condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which requires immediate medical treatment.

Insulet advises that customers should visit omnipod.com/check-pods to learn if their pods are affected by this correction and request replacement pods at no cost.

If a customer is currently wearing a pod from an affected lot, Insulet advises that they should stop wearing it and replace it with a pod from an unaffected lot.

As of March 12, Insulet had received 18 reports of serious adverse events associated with high blood glucose levels, including hospitalization and DKA. No deaths had been reported. This issue does not affect continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems or CGM readings.

Community Care Behavioral Health is excited to announce this free upcoming web-based training opportunity:

A growing body of U.S. and international research demonstrates that the rapid legalization and commercialization of gambling—including online casinos and mobile sports betting platforms—are associated with significant and escalating gambling related harm. Although Pennsylvania specific prevalence data remain limited, available evidence is increasingly concerning, with gambling disorder linked to alarmingly high rates of suicide, psychiatric comorbidity, and social and financial harm. Drawing on lessons from the tobacco and opioid crises, this presentation will examine how delayed recognition and regulation can amplify population level harm, underscoring the need for earlier screening, prevention, and policy engagement. Participants will gain practical guidance on identifying patients at elevated risk, implementing evidence informed screening and diagnostic strategies, and applying current treatment approaches across the lifespan.
