omnipod

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 have now received my DASH, I was considering adding onto the last topic about the DASH but I decided to start fresh as this is more about the actual handset rather than availability. My favourite improvement is the ability to turn off all beeps apart from the hazard (pod fail...

I noticed that the UK myomnipod site is now marketing the Omnipod DASH pump, has anyone switched or know anything about UK availability?

Just started on the omnipod yesterday transitioned from Animas vibe. Set up PDM with basal rates etc from old pump and wearing first pod on my arm. Whilst I'm loving the freedom of the patch pump I have been hypo City both during day and night. I know there is a need for basal tests and...

Hey Everyone :) I finally got approved to switch from my Animas to Omnipod... Exciting. I have a question I could not find the answer for anywhere. How long does it take for Omnipod to deliver a bolus? (Let's say 5 units). I have struggled in the past with pre-bolusing and was just looking to...

hi! I’ve recently started on the omnipod and as much as I love it I’ve been finding I’m not feeling myself dropping low very often If I do drop I either don’t feel it or I don’t feel it until I’m incredibly low Did anyone else feel this when they changed pumps? Any tips? Thanks!

Hi, I'm considering moving from the Accu check combo to the pods, and I'm after some answers! 1. What is the insertion process like? Does the needle remain in you for the whole three days? Or is it a plastic tube under your skin? 2. How painful do you find the insertion? 3. How comfortable...

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...
