insulin pump advice

Hi, I was wondering how long it would take to get an insulin pump privately. I was planning on taking this route anyway due to many reasons and am aware it is expensive, but I have saved up money to be able to buy one and can maintain the costs. I just received a phone call from my pharmacy...

Hello, has anyone else had issues with the medtrum nano patch pump? I moved on to it last summer but have since been having loads of issues with "patch errors". I rarely get the point I change it because it's ran out. 95% of the time it fails and needs changed. This problem keeps happening even...

Hi all, I've been diagnosed type 1 for 10 and a half months now and im thinking about getting a pump. I have a couple of reservations that come in the form of my 20 month old and 7 week old. Has anybody had a pump before and successfully not had it yanked out several times? This is a big...

Hi all, I'm a T1 Diabetic that plays rugby whilst wearing the Omnipod and Freestyle Libre sensor. I've spent the last 3 years trying to find the best way to keep my pump attached to me whilst I play rugby. Does anybody else have a similar issue? And what do you do to secure it? I'm currently...

Hi all, I'm in the process of choosing a new insulin pump and I'm strongly considering the Ypsopump. Does anyone use this and can provide a review? I'm currently on a Medtronic pump. I like Medtronic, but I was attracted to the smaller size of the Ypsopump. Thanks! Tegan
