omnipod

Hi guys, I am in the process of upgrading my insulin pump on the NHS and of the list of pump potions I have narrowed my choices between the omnipod and the Medtronic 640G. I wondered if anyone had been on either of these and had some reviews for me, I am unsure which would be better. Also...

Hey guys, My pump (Animas Vibe) is coming to the end of its warranty period :( I have been offered the choice of either a Medtronic 640g or a Omnipod. I am just looking around and see what people say about the Omnipods. I have been on a tubed pump for 8 years and I know what I can, can't...

Hi! I've been type 1 for nearly 3 years now and have had an Omnipod insulin pump on the NHS for around half of that time. It's absolutely changed my life - I'm 24 and enjoying life, I'm busy working, seeing friends, going on holidays and travelling, and having a pump means my diabetes works...

Hi everyone I have read a few posts on here but this is my first. I’m posting to get some encouragement I guess. I’m 26. I have had diabetes all my life and my husband and I have been trying for a baby and landed pregnant in month 1! We are delighted and can’t wait but I’m so worried about my...

Hi all, So I have been using the freestyle libre for about six months and I love it, I don't know how I got by without it before! In my last meeting with the doctor I was told the best way forward for my control was to go onto the pump, this was for various reasons including high bloodtests...

morning all I have been type 1 for 24 years with a pump since 1998. One consistent issue I have faced is that I need to change my pump site after 1.5 days otherwise the insulin stops being absorbed and I get high blood sugars. this has been the case on both the animas and omnipod, with...

Hi all, I am reviewing options for a pump for better control. My hospital typically offers two versions but with a tube. However they can be persuaded to review options for tubless options. Omnipod is the one i am leaning towards, having two small children and an active lifestyle including...

I’ve been using a Mylife Omnipod system for the past 4/5 years (I’m currently 18) and have started developing problems with it. I am a horse owner and therefore I am outdoors, in the typical UK winter weather, for numerous hours in the day. Every so often, when I’m out sorting the horses, my...

Hello, I’ve been looking at new pumps today, having been on the combo for many years and I can’t chose between the insight or the omnipod. Both have significant pros and cons but I was hoping to get some advice from people who are actually using them. What frustrations do people have with them...

Hi guys I've been on the Medtronic paradigm pump for just over 3 years so will be coming to the end of my 4 year warranty in a few months. Pump therapy has undoubtedly improved my control - I eventually got funded for too many hypos which have now reduced as well as lowering my HBA1C to 6.6%...

Hi all, So after a visit to the hospital to discuss pumps, I really like the idea of getting one. I have been invited to a manufacture talk (Medtronic and Accu Check), but naturally they are only going to talk about the positives as they want you to use their product. But I want to know the...

Just wondering because I can't figure out how to do it. Not really that bad if I can't. But calling it Honey may grow old...

Hi All, I feel like a kid at christmas. You know that feeling, when your control is nil and you just need action to take back control of your sugars? Well action finally happened and i'm prepping to get my pod a week tomorrow. 2016 has been THE WORST. 12 years with Diabetes before it really...

Hey everyone, hope you're well :) I had a girly date with my friend the other day, and she mentioned pumps to me. she's not diabetic, but as I've been diagnosed this year she's been a right little cutie and done some research... She's the one that brought Omnipod to me... I was wondering the...

Hi people! My name is Dominic, I'm 18 and live in Wiltshire and recently started up my own company. I currently have a few different designs or stickers available for OmniPod pods, but am hoping to expand to more pumps and designs in the near future. I hope you like my stickers and if you have...

Hi podders, I'm Dominic, and I recently started Pumpskin! Not 100% sure if I can post this here, if I'm not allowed, I apologise :) I've currently got a few different OmniPod Pod stickers available and would love it if you could take a look! My website is www.pumpskin.co.uk Thanks and if you...

Hi, I'm just looking to meet new people with type 1 who use an omnipod pump. I've had diabetes for nearly 9 years now, and I'm 20 years old. I am at university in my third year, and am 2 hrs away from home- have to be pretty independent. I used an accuchek aviva combo pump for 5 years not...
