mylife YpsoPump: Full Insulin Pump Review

Is this the simplest, smallest, and smartest insulin pump on the market. I used the mylife YpsoPump for 4 months and in this video I discuss all its functions, features, pros and cons. Find out if this is the right insulin pump for you!

Disclosure: I was not paid for making this video. However, Ypsomed provided me with the insulin pump for testing in exchange for my honest review. Links in the video description might include affiliate links (I will receive a small provision if you use these links for your purchase).

I LOVE my Ypsopump. I was diagnosed back in the mid Seventies and still have nightmares about the glass and steel syringes that you had to keep in industrial spirit and boil wash prior to every injection with needles as thick as Canadian Redwood trees!
Currently using a Freestyle Libre 2 sensor - I'm old enough to remember the chemistry set style Urine tests.
Surprised I'm still alive after nearly 50 years being a diabetic. Looking forward to Libre 3 and the advantages of Closed Loop. Thank God for the N.H.S. 😊

Thank you so much for this video, after 32 years I’m finally opting for a pump and your video and advice has helped me and my husband feel more confident that this is the right decision. Thank you so much!

Very interesting, Thank you for all the time you spend with these types of presentations. I prefer, No Tubing, because I worked health care and in a medical emergency the tubing offers a lot of draw backs. That's my own opinion, and I do enjoy every presentation you share.

Not thinking of changing from Tandem, but I love the feature of a 12-hour extended bolus! That is great as if I eat a piece of pizza at 5 pm, I need an extended bolus well into the night

Thanks a lot for this video! Trying to decide my next pump in the UK and this is exactly the kind of info I couldn't find elsewhere. 😁

Never dropped the pump in the toilet but I would have of it wasn't connected to me. *Saved by the infusion set* 😂

Hi, can you do the test with the Apple Watch? Find out if the application is visible by the Apple Watch. That would be a great help to me. Thank you for everything you do

Dear Tom, Thank you very much for your clear and excellent explanation of this pump. I've been a diabetic from 1977 and has the same experience as Hummadruz wrote 2 wk ago. After seen your video's I now want to begin with pump therapie only if I can use the closed loop system. You explained that there is no iOS app jet, but can you tell me when it will come available? I am a real Apple fan and use now the FSLibre 2 sensor. Don't you also find it unbelievable that Apple with 2 CEO's (Steve Jobs & Tim Cook) with Diabetes doesn't be the first with a good working Mylife Ypsopump closed loop app? How can I let them know I am hungry for that app. Please help me?

[ryanhiltunen]

As always, great video! I enjoy the features built into my tandem pump and I don't think I'd feel comfortable making the compromise. I was curious as to where you got the clip for the tandem pump? I've never seen one like that before.

[pendlepastures]

Another fantastic video my good sir.
Is there any news on the horizon on when/if the ypso will be compatible with the G7?
Thank you

Pretty nice pump. But I need the tubeless with the physical work I do. So omnipod for me. But great job on the video and thanks for all the diabetic info you always share.

[ScottieBMan]

Thanks for sharing for this, excellent resource for many!

[OnkelDevil]

Hi, I am very interested in using the YsoPump. Unfortunately, there is still no connection between the G7 and the Yso-Pump. Has anyone news about that?

[SallyMacMillan-kded]

A great video, many thanks. One question, where you mention there is no low insulin alert, can you put in a new reservoir without having to change the cannula? Just curious. Im not using the Ypso pump yet, but looking at options for when I can change from my current pump Tandem Control IQ in a few months, thanks.

Great video, love your work.
I'm in UK & about to switch to this Ypso pump with myLife Loop on a Galexy S10 (I know it's old 😅) & Dexcom G6.
I'm wondering about phone battery life - as a dead phone will be so frustrating 😫
Have you any info on how much battery life this pump system will consume?
Recently, I find Dexcom alone is using 25% of what I can get out of my battery - so I guess it's time to upgrade my phone as well 😖

[PerTeige]

Thanks for informative videos. The app for using the Ypsopump and sensor with your mobile phone is already awailable for android phones. Any idea when it will be ready for iOS (Iphone).

[hannahmiles]

which would you recommend between the t-slim pump or the Ypso pump?

[ghyslainghyslain]

Hello @TypeOne Talks, When do you think YpsoPump will be reimbursed by French Social Security, please ?
I'm looking at YP closely.
Best regards,
Ghyslain.

Thanks for this video. I'm in the UK and currently trying to decide whether to stay on the medtrum nano which I like for it's tube free and discreetness, or to use this pump as my DSN thinks I need to be on the closed loop system with my libre 3 for the hypos I have. Sugars always unstable and I tried the latest medtronic 780g punp but their sensor wouldn't work with me unfortunately and always failed within 2 days.
