I know this thread is a few months old but I'm so fed up with my Medtrum Nano that my clinic is allowing me to switch to Omnipod. I'm so sick of the constant skin irritation and pump alerts. I've used this pump since January 2022 when I was under a different clinic, and my new clinic doesn't use...

Nottingham now has them, it's just been added to my prescription.

We've not had them here yet in Nottingham, so I'll try asking next time I go to clinic, which is next monday

Thank you for the nice messages. I've found that having the glucose tablets and then waiting and having the snack bit when testing 15 mins after works for me. All your advice has been really helpful in reducing the loads of hypos I was having!
