Hi all!

Just wondering if anyone could reccommend the best insulin pump for an athlete?

I run everyday, currently inject 4 times a day, but my doctor has suggested looking into getting a pump, therefore I ask the question!

All replies much appreciated

Thanx

Laf

Hi @LafOakley7

Has your clinic told you which pumps will be made available to you? I'm not an athlete but the Omnipod would be ideal as it's a tubeless pump, but this pump may/may not be available to you so best check first before looking further.

Hi Noblehed

Thanx for your reply. They haven't told me which are available yet, gave appointment Wednesday to discuss, but will go armed with info on the Omnipod!

Thanks for that Chas!
