Hey everyone! I have been looking into getting a pump- for the second time. My main reason for looking at Omnipod is because it's wireless, can people tell me their advice/opinion/experience?! [emoji173]️

I always double check my order when they give it to me. I constantly remind them that it's diet!! And even then I still don't trust then hahahhaha. It's not difficult but people mess it up! I'm sorry you have to deal with that now xx

So it's not a pump but it reads your blood glucose constantly?! I was thinking it was a pump! Silly me!

What is it like?! Do you have to do blood pricks too? And have I got it right in thinking it's no needles but sensors?! Xx

I didn't ever try it on my legs or bum, so that's probably a great idea, I have more fat there! I try not to let diabetes effect my life but I am going through a tough time. I am finding it hard to control my blood pricks and that doesn't help, just need a change and some support- which is why...

Have either of you heard about the freestyle libre?! That looks good! Thanks for the advice xxx will look at the other ones too xx

So are is the freestyle libre wireless?!

Ohhhh tell me how this goes as I think mine runs out in the morning too, maybe that could be the answer!!

I was very very thin and the pump was never in right. Lots of lumps and bruising. I was on an animas. I'm so clumsy too, so think wireless may be better. Although haven't found anyone who wears a wireless one so don't know if there any good!! I'm trying to stay happy but feel alone. I'm getting...

Is there a conference in Somerset that anyone knows of?! X

Ooooohhh looks good, thank you xx

Let's hope they are helpful!! I need support at the moment. I had a pump about 4-5 years ago. Always got the wire caught on things. The pump caused major bruising. And I couldn't cope with the pump at that point in my life. I'd rather the wireless but am welcome to any ideas! I'll have a look...

I told my nurse at the gps that I want to talk about pumps and she doesn't know so much so has sent me to hospital, but getting the right appointment was a struggle. I rang the hospital just to double check if they are specialists in pumps but they had no clue. I have my appointment coming up so...

Thanks for all of the comments, I am a Type 1 diabetic and have been for 17 years. My main concern is I want to go back on the pump and no one seems to know anything about them. I've moved to a new location and the doctors are no good. In my past experience I have also had bad doctors at the...

Hi all! I just wanted to rant about how I feel no support for my diabetes is given by nurses or doctors. Maybe this is just because I am seeing the wrong medical staff, but sometimes I feel I know more then them. Feeling very low.

Gosh so many great replies! I think I'm going to look into it- will want to go for a wireless one. Not bothered about sex as my partner didn't mind when I had it before. Just hoping to make my life easier. I'm just worried because it made my life more difficult before xx

I was in a bad place in my life and it didn't suit where I was. I was also really thin and it just caused major bruises- this meant it never seemed to be in properly. I hated the wire as I would always get caught on things. Lots more reasons but now I'm willing to try it again . And it's...

Just wanted to write a post up to ask everyone's opinions of pumps. I use to be on a pump but couldn't get on with it. After a few years I am now thinking of trying it again.... What do you all think??

I am a type 1 diabetic and have had it for many years. You've come to right place for help. When I was younger me and my family use to be part of the JDRF and that was a brilliant group to talk to other diabetics and other mothers. It really helped my parents. Hope that helps xxxxxx

Thanks for the reply. I've always tried to stay motivated with diabetes and it's just going badly at the moment. My partner knows how I feel but I thought it might help to meet others like me. Just reading your comment has made me feel less alone. Thank you x
