Hi everyone

I was wondering if anybody here has an Omni Pod? If you do, how did you go about attaining it?

I've been told by my local Diabetic Specialist that the Omni Pod isn't available in the UK, which turns out to be a lie as I've seen 5 different people with it over the past few months.

If you're not familiar with the Omni Pod it is basically a very intuitive, automated, self contained (no tubes) insulin pump.

You can find out all the info here http://www.myomnipod.com

Any help would be great.

Thanks
 
I have one. Got it through the NHS and was funded by my CCG.
You diabetic clinic has to apply on your behalf. Some clinics have an arrangement with Ypsomed and others dont. Best you ask Ypsomed which clinics they work with near you. You may have to change diabetic clinic as the clinic will need trained staff on this pump.
 
Yes I've had one for nearly 2 years now, there have been hiccups with the new smaller pump but when it works it's great. Ypsomed should be able to help you, mine came through the NHS but has to be approved by the PCG equivalent, again there are many agreements to use and you will probably have to as it's a little more expensive than the other pumps.
