where can I find a couple of Omnipod 5 on a Sunday in London, son has Uni exams tomorrow and has run out. Delivery only on Wednesday !
 
Doers your son not have insulin pens as a backup?
Everyone who uses any kind of pump should have, as they are not 100% guarantee to work or yeah if you run out
If not you should be able to ring 11 and they should be able to sort out an emergency prescription (or get doctor to call you) - and I believe there should always be somewhere you can pick up emergency supplies on sundays (though it may be a hospital)

Have to revert to pens until the pods arrive

yes, that is not a problem - but he is registered for the exam with the pod, not pen and I am not sure they will allow it. He tends to worry so sugar goes high during exams...
