Hi all.
Just wondering if you have the omni pod and if so what hospital do you come under. Our hospital won't even entertain it for my daughter.
TIA.x

Hi Hun, I don't have one myself but someone will probably be along soon that does. Did the hospital give you a reason for not letting your daughter have one?

Hi abbie
Thanks for the reply. They said it's not on their commission list, and I will have to have either the animas vibe or Medtronic. Neither of those will be suitable for my daughter as she has additional needs.

that's such a shame! I have a Medtronic pump and it works great for me but like I said earlier hopefully someone will be along soon that can help with your question x

Bump. Doesn't anyone use the omni pod lol... I'm looking for some info on it. Does it have low/high alerts like the vibe and Medtronic does or is it just standard. Can you use cgm's with it? Does it have cgm's capabilities?
Thanks Stacy mum to Freya dx 23months now 4years x
