Insulet's (PODD) Omnipod Gets FDA Nod for Use With Lyumjev
Read MoreHide Full Article
Insulet Corporation’s (PODD - Free Report) Omnipod and Omnipod DASH insulin management systems recently received FDA’s approval for their use with Eli Lilly and Company’s (LLY - Free Report) Lyumjev (insulin lispro-aabc injection) 100 units/mL. With this regulatory go-ahead, Insulet becomes the only insulin pump manufacturer in the United States to obtain this indication.
Following this, Insulet joined forces with Lilly to add Lyumjev to the label of the Omnipod Insulin Management System and the Omnipod DASH Insulin Management System.
A Few Words on Lumidev and Omnipod
Lyumjev is a fast-acting mealtime insulin that originally got FDA approval in June 2020. This formulation of insulin lispro speeds up the absorption of insulin into the blood stream. Lyumjev helps in controlling glucose levels after meals in adults with diabetes. It more closely matches a body’s typical insulin response to a meal.

The latest regulatory nod is an expanded label approval for Lumidev to include administration through continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) with an insulin pump. Omnipod is the only insulin pump, which received approval for its use with Lyumjev in the United States.
According to the company, this expanded labelling will provide additional choice to the diabetes community to manage their glucose levels and reduce post-meal elevations.
