My neighbour uses a pump and loves it. She is a Type 1 since age 3-4. Until she got the pump and after she moved from the UK to Canada, her sugars were all over the place - really crazy. Now she's will under control.

I’ve been using a medtronic pump for 6 years very successfully. Best A1c’s in the last 25 years no diabetic complications and easy to travel with. About to commence CGM which should make my control even better.

I've been on Omnipod pump since July of 2019. I love it! It's not heavy and easy to use.

I have used a Medtronic pump for 6 years and love it. Wish I could get continuious glouse montering with the pump but social security doesn't cover that part. It is such a necessary part of the pump package
Hope you are liking your pump
