[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 7019, member: 1338"] The Omnipod system does look good, and a new version is currently under development with an improved glucose monitoring system. But it is currently only available in the US (and even there is sold in only 40 states). The cost of $800 for a month's worth of pods is probably what will prevent it ever becoming available on prescription in the UK. When you consider that PCTs are reluctant to let GPs prescribe even glucose monitor test strips at a cost to the NHS of less than £20 per month, I don't see Omnipod ever getting off the ground over here.
