Insulet Corporation Recognizes National Diabetes Awareness Month at NASDAQ Stock Market Opening Bell Ceremony

BILLERICA, Mass., Nov. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD), the leader in tubeless insulin pump technology with its OmniPod^® Insulin Management System, today announced that Patrick Sullivan, Insulet's President and Chief Executive Officer, will preside over the NASDAQ Stock Market Opening Bell Ceremony on November 16, 2015, in celebration of National Diabetes Awareness Month. In his remarks, Mr. Sullivan will highlight the important role of the Company's OmniPod System in helping those with diabetes manage their condition and achieve improved quality of life.

"We are excited to be hosting the NASDAQ Opening Bell Ceremony to celebrate National Diabetes Awareness Month," said Patrick Sullivan, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our mission is to change the way patients and providers manage diabetes. Our OmniPod system is the world's first commercially available tube-free insulin delivery system helping more than 75,000 patients make diabetes a smaller part of their lives. The OmniPod system allows patients to live their lives with the freedom of not being tethered by tubing and without the stress and anxiety of multiple daily injections. Throughout National Diabetes Awareness Month in November, we have developed additional methods to increase diabetes awareness, including encouraging healthcare providers to wear a sample of our OmniPod product. For each healthcare provider who wears an OmniPod, Insulet will make a donation to a diabetes charitable organization."

Insulet's OmniPod System:

The OmniPod is a discreet and easy-to-use system that eliminates many of the issues associated with conventional pumps. Improvements include OmniPod's lack of tubing; automated, virtually pain-free insertion; and two straightforward parts that communicate wirelessly. By breaking down the barriers to insulin pump therapy, Insulet hopes to provide both a superior treatment option and life-long health benefits for people with diabetes.

Like insulin pumps, the OmniPod features precise, personalized, continuous insulin delivery with basal rate and bolus delivery options, safety checks and alarm features. The difference lies in the innovative, award-winning design. Its two parts communicate wirelessly, which eliminates the tubing, and the pod's automated insertion is virtually pain-free. The Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM) has a fully integrated blood glucose meter, so there is nothing extra to carry, and no manual entry is required. This makes the OmniPod simple to live with and learn.

In addition, Insulet's Delivery Systems business works closely with global pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to adapt the OmniPod technology platform for the delivery of non-insulin, subcutaneous drugs across multiple therapeutic areas.
