Pump
Hi all, I am really confused as I am due to upgrade my pump have the following options available Dana I, omni pod and also t:slimx2 but I’m really confused. I currently wear the Dana , and I’m interested in the omni pod but could love to speak to some one who has used the omni pod and wondered what it is like when using in a hot tub
 
Hello @ewok26

What exactly is confusing you - is it just hot tub compatibility ? Have you done any research on each pump ? Personally i'd rate the features and benefits above compatibility with using a hot tub. I am a Tandem slim user and this is closed loop pumping, in my opinion it's the best system currently out there, however it's pretty simple to use when bathing as you remove it and stop the insulin flow and then administer a correction when re-applying if required.
 
I have t:slim and used to do as Juicyj mentions but now place it under either a bathing cap or whooly hat in winter or leave it plugged in but sitting on the side in summer.
