Hi @Tracyann35

There was a discussion a few years back about insulin pumps and induction hobs, here it is if you want to take a look:

@Tracyann35 I have used an induction hob for the duration of my pump (approx. 12mths) and had no issues whatsoever. I certainly wouldn't risk placing it on top of the hob, but cooking with it has not caused me any concern so far. There are very clear warnings against it in the manuals, but I suspect personally this is the manufacturers erring on the side of caution, and have not heard of any negative stories so far.

Great thanks for your help Paul

Hi Tracyann35, I have a Medtronic 640 pump and use an induction hob, I have had no problems. I did check with my consultant prior to getting the pump and they confirmed it was ok to use an induction hob.

Hey @Tracyann35, no issue here either - didn't even consider it when I bought a new oven.

I've used mine around two seperate induction hobs and not had any issues with either.
