I have been on this pump for about 2 wks, and I have nothing but good things to say. I wish it was tubeless, but for the control I have had with this, I am willing to accept it. Lol. I have had diabetes for 33 years, and I have never been in this much control. It took about 3 to 4 days to learn my body, but now I am 90% in range for the last 7 days! I can't wait to see what my a1c next trip to Dr.. I was last at a 7.2, I have been fighting cancer for 3 years and am finally in remission! I love this pump for the freedom it's given me during my recovery. ❤

[Bbawla]

Thought I'd show some diabetic love lol. Definitely appreciate this channel. My endocrinologist just showed this to me.

[annhodge]

I would love to have this pump!! I'm suffering from burnout. I go through burnout every few years it seems. After, 43 years I guess that's to be expected. They've come so far in technology!!

[DepletedIslet]

I remember being 8 years old and being introduced to the Medtronic 510. That thing was such a hunk of garbage, but back then it was so advanced for the time. Now looking at these, it’s mind blowing.

[janetbellini]

Thanks for this video...just started wearing it today. Sounds so much easier than my in-pen. I'll have to keep watching to perfect it.

[Papamatarese]

Awesome I just got one and am about to start mine up for the first time in 30 minutes 🥳

[susanmason]

I would like to try it, yes I will miss tubeless but willing to try . Ty for the in put

[EurilOlmstead]

5.45pm eastern time I'm in the process of switching from the omnipod 5 to the Ilet bionic pump. Waiting to hear from them any day. Extremely excited @@

[kararashae]

Your amazing! Thanks for the video. It’s just what I was looking for

[alexsanders]

I’m 26 and have had diabetes since I was in 5th grade. First time I had a pump was the Medtronic’s that had 2 skin tags for the cites. Had for a few years and couldn’t never get my bolus rates right and had 3 seizures over the years from the pump giving to much on bolus rates, it always happened in the morning, got away from pumps after that have been on pens ever since. I have huge trust issues with pumps because of what happened when I was younger but my endocrinologist has been pushing this on me for the last few months. Would like to see someone with a 3month or more review of it, this thing looks cool and I want to learn more about it

[denastrackeljahn]

My 10 year old grandson just applied to get this pump. I didn't even know about the future of glucagon being introduced. Thats wild. It exciting that he gets to try the latest thing available.. I mean you know this disease is such bs. Im trying to see the positives where I can..

[waltbonser]

Mine is being delivered tomorrow. Using the Omni pod 5 . Can’t wait to try it out!

[kk]

You can achieve pretty much the same with a tandem and there is all kinds of infusion sets ready.

The really interesting thing is the dualality when it works.

The smart approach reminds me of the yso and it's pretty clever thinking.

The pump learns your patterns and by doing that will be able to auto bolus.

[randykephart]

2:50 yes you could do that on the Omni pod five

[ChaosBradford]

My endocrinologist mentioned this pump to me today im hoping to get put a pump in the future this sounds like it might be perfect for me

[arleenkuilan]

I don’t like tubes. But I don’t know if I want to try it neither. I think I’ll just go and wait a bit more. I love my O5 though. 😊

[ponyboyxxx]

I’ve been on omnipod 5 for a year and diabetic for 31. Its the only pump i have ever used, so the cartridge, infusion sets, and tubing all confuse and, tp be honest, intimidate me a bit. Other than that, this sounds amazing on paper. How much insulin does it hold and how often do you change it? How do you take it off to shower or charge?

[Cianfla]

Really exciting!
I’m using the 780g and that’s great!
I think that the algorithm without carb count is the natural step forward. The only thing I don’t like is the infusion set that I think is a step behind than the Minimed Advance or the Minimed Extended.

[chrism.]

I'm interested in trying to inject the infusion set. I tried out the Mio that Tandem had back in 2015, and tried a number of them, and I had a terrible time trying to put them in.

I have used the Medtronic quick set since year 2005, and have not had any problem putting them in with the auto serter.

I am curious if Medtronic might have perhaps a quick set that would have what may be a luer lock that would work with this.

[BetzaidaPabon]

I used the t-slim and on the fifth day my sugar was super out of control. I went back to my regimen of injecting myself and I am back in control. I thought about the omnipod 5 but since it can't communicate with the dexcom g7 which I love and has helped me immensely, it's not an option for now either. If omnipod manages to make it compatible with the deccom g7 I may consider going back to a pump. Now as for this ilet, It impresses the fact that you don't have to count carbs etc, but I would wait for more data to try it. Thanks for such a good video. Blessings
