Pump info please.

Hi. Are there any patch pumps available yet that stick to your skin rather than need to be hooked on a belt? I've not used a pump and it hasn't been suggested to me by my diabetes team so I don't even know if I'd qualify (T1 with last hbA1c of 50, 52yrs old and work full time) Thanks

omnipod ? (I don't pump so limited knowledge!)

There’s three: omnipod, cellnovo & accu-chek solo. But check what’s available in your area as many CCGs don’t offer patch pumps unfortunately.

Bear in mind patch pumps can be more expensive than tubey pumps so some CCG do not provide them.
Before getting your hopes up, I suggest finding what is available in your area.

Many people find tubey pumps are fine.
My preference would be tubeless but only because I have a slight frame and tubey ones are typically bigger but would rather go tubey than no pump at all as it provide much better control for me during exercise.
FYI, hypos during exercise was my pump justification.)
