Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements reflect the consolidated income of Insulet Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Insulet” or the “Company”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in United States dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In management’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim results reported. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024, or for any other subsequent interim period. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the annual disclosures required by GAAP; accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. To measure fair value of assets and liabilities, the Company uses the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs: Level 1—observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2—significant other observable inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3—significant unobservable inputs for which there are little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. Judgement is involved in estimating inputs, such as discount rates, used in Level 3 fair value measurements. Changes to these inputs can have a significant effect on fair value measurements and amounts that could be realized. Certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value because of their short-term maturity.
Product Warranty Costs	Product Warranty Costs The Company provides a four-year warranty on Personal Diabetes Managers (“PDMs”) and Controllers sold in the United States and Europe and a five-year warranty on PDMs sold in Canada and may replace Pods that do not function in accordance with product specifications. The Company estimates its warranty obligation at the time the product is shipped based on historical experience and the estimated cost to service the claims. Cost to service the claims reflects the current product cost, reclaim costs, shipping and handling costs and direct and incremental distribution and customer service support costs. Since the Company continues to introduce new products and versions, the anticipated performance of the product over the warranty period is also considered in estimating warranty reserves. Warranty expense is recorded in cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of income.
