Hi all,
I'm after a bit of advice from people who are closed looping on the NHS. I've been using the Omnipod for four years and have recently started using a Dexcom G5 and have become increasingly interested in closed looping. I have used the HAPP app for around a month now, generally following its basal and bolus advice, and have run autotune to adjust my basal rates.
This has resulted in rather fantastic blood sugars which I am keen to attempt to automate. I've managed to purchase two suitable pumps (one as backup) and have ordered a Rileylink from the USA to run Loop as the closed loop app.
So my actual query! What support have others found from their consultants and nurses for closed looping? Ideally I'd like a supply of reservoirs and infusion sets made available whilst at the same time keeping the Omnipod as an option for when I potentially don't want to loop. If this isn't an option can the reservoirs and infusion sets be purchased from an online pharmacy?
Thanks in advance
