Hybrid Closed-Loop Evolution (Omnipod 5 + Libre 3 Plus)
2026 marks the full commercial realization of the partnership between Insulet and Abbott. The Omnipod 5 automated insulin delivery (AID) system now pairs directly with the FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus.
Tubeless Automation: This is the primary 2026 choice for "patch pump" users. The system uses SmartAdjust™ technology to update insulin delivery every 5 minutes based on CGM data.
Patient Autonomy: For the first time, users can fully control this hybrid closed-loop system via both iPhone and Android devices, removing the need for a separate PDM (Personal Diabetes Manager) handheld.
