I've just spoken with my DSN. I may be able to get a pump. She told me to do a bit of research on Omnipod 5 and Ypsomed. I wanted to ask the thoughts and opinions of the experts. You guys. What are the pros and cons. TIA

I have been closed looping with CamapsFx and Ypsomed for four years.
I love this pump, (not that I interact with it much due to hybrid closed looping.)
I only interact when I change the cannula, battery or pump cartridge.
The pump itself is very small and easy to use, if you're going to be HCL with CamapsFX everything is done from your phone.
CamapsFX algorithm is perfect for me and my time in range is on average 97% and my Hba1c was 41mmol last check.
If you use NovoRapid you can use the pre filled pump cartridges, if not, you have to pre fill cartridges.
I suppose it all boils down to if you want a patch pump or a tethered pump.
I house my pump in my bra.
