As a Type 1 diabetic, I use the Omnipod system to help control my glucose levels. The pod is small, wearable, and disposable, quietly doing its job in the background so I can focus on mine. Every three days, I swap it out for a new pod filled with fresh insulin.

Those three day cycles add up to roughly 120 pods a year for a single user. Multiply that across hundreds of thousands of active users globally and the environmental footprint becomes unmistakable.

That’s why I was genuinely pleased to learn that Omnipod offers a Pod Recycling Program, giving users a way to return used pods instead of automatically sending them to landfill. It’s a practical step that shows innovation does not have to stop at performance. It can extend to environmental responsibility too, helping sustain and safeguard the world users fight every day to live in.

I’ll drop the link here for my fellow pod warriors:

There’s another small detail I notice every time I open a new pod. The ETL Mark is printed right on the package, a subtle reminder that the device I rely on has been tested for safety and compliance before it ever reaches my hands and starts doing its job. When something operates as close to life support as this does, that reassurance matters.
