Omnipod 5 or MyLife Ypsopump Loop? My real world insulin pump experience
Trying to figure out which insulin pump might work best for your needs as a person with type 1 diabetes isn't always easy. With more availability comes more choice, which is a great thing. I've now used both the Omnipod 5 and MyLife Loop Ypsopump CamAPS hybrid closed loop systems, so this a deep dive into the two based on my real world experience.
I chat through some of the similarities and differences as I've found them, from exercise to tubing to changing the pump and alarms, speaking from my personal perspective about how they both fit into my lifestyle as someone living with type 1 diabetes. If you're considering one of these insulin pumps, or a hybrid closed loop/automated insulin delivery system in general, you may find this useful!
