Omnipod Insulin Management System
The Omnipod Insulin Management System is an all-in-one tubeless insulin pump designed by Insulet Corporation. The Omnipod System differs from other insulin pumps by being the only pump that consists of a completely tubeless “pod” that is wirelessly controlled by a Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM). The Omnipod PDM is essentially a Blood Glucose (BG) meter that also acts in compatibility with the pod as a wireless remote. The PDM controls everything a normal pump would do, such as deliver corrective doses and pre-program basal rates.〔Zisser, Howard C.

==History of insulin pumps==
According to Medscape LLC, The first insulin pump was made by Dr. Arnold Kadish in the early 1960s. Kadish’s design was very large, roughly the size of a marine backpack. After thorough testing of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) in the 1970s, insulin pumps were beginning to be seen as a possible alternative treatment for type one diabetics. The first commercial pump was known as the “big blue brick.” After its introduction in 1978, many companies began to develop their own version of the insulin pump. These early models were less than satisfactory to patients. The pumps did not have a foolproof way to deliver insulin safely, and some even lacked basic controls. In older models, a screwdriver had to be used to adjust an insulin dose. As a result of these problematic models, insulin pumps were still not used by most patients during the 1980s.〔"History of Pump Technology." Medscape Multispecialty. Medscape LLC. Web. 4 Oct 2013.〕
The use of pumps increased dramatically in the 1990s when medical device technologies improved drastically. This new technology brought safer insulin delivery, smaller pumps, and a more effective way to treat diabetes.〔"History of Pump Technology." Medscape Multispecialty. Medscape LLC. Web. 4 Oct 2013.〕 Newer pumps, like the Omnipod, are now even operated by remote controls. Most insulin pumps today are fairly small, about the size of a pager, and they have helpful features such as bolus calculators that help a patient calculate an insulin dose. Most also have programmable memory, a multiple basal rate option, and safety lock features.〔Jahn, LG, JJ Capurro, and BL Levy. "Comparative dose accuracy of durable and patch insulin infusion pumps." Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology. n. page. Web. 14 Oct. 2013〕
Insulet Corporation was founded in July 2000. In 2003, Insulet proposed the idea of the Omnipod and the company then received 501(k) approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to start producing the system commercially. Two years later, the FDA cleared the first version of the Omnipod System. 2005 was the first year the Omnipod was able to be found commercially, and only three years later all fifty US states sold and supported the new technology.〔Zisser, Howard C.
