An oldie but a goodie! Back in episode 69, we highlighted the top 3 insulin pump manufacturers, the features of each pump, and what was possibly in the pipeline (as we knew then).The info in this episode is still relevant especially with so many new diagnoses, and especially since many doctors offices and endocrine clinics have financial relationships with Medtronic… which means T1Ds might not even know about the other insulin pump options out there.
Like anything with your T1D care, the insulin pump you choose should be an informed decision, and not one that you get strong-armed into. For some, MDI works better. For others, Omnipod. That’s what it comes down to: the freedom to CHOOSE.
So take a listen to this MVP episode on the different kinds of pumps out there.
