An omnipod or An insulin pump is a medical device used for the administration of insulin in the treatment of Diabetes mellitus, also known as continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy. The device includes: * the pump itself (including controls, processing module, and batteries) * a disposable reservoir for insulin (inside the pump) * a disposable infusion set, including a cannula for subcutaneous insertion (under the skin) and a tubing system to interface the insulin reservoir to the cannula. An insulin pump is an alternative to multiple daily injections of insulin by insulin syringe or an insulin pen and allows for intensive insulin therapy when used in conjunction with blood glucose monitoring and carb counting. A celeb such as Nick Jonas uses this as soon as he found out he had diabetes
