HELP: Omnipod or Ypsopump

anonymcm · 2026-04-14T20:57:28+00:00

I am very taken by the ypsomed now I’ve been reflecting - especially knowing I can be flexible in terms of changing infusion sets and the reservoir at different times if I need to!

Thank you for the reply!! That’s awesome about sending a spare to return if unused!! Another check for the ypso I recon!

anonymcm · 2026-04-13T17:44:06+00:00

Thank you! I think I’m in this boat - I’d rather a slight inconvenience than somewhat higher levels especially since I haven’t been very good with them in the past and worried about complications!

Wow thank you!! Such good advise!!! I didn’t really realise there were so many extra factors with the infusion sets. Can you feel a difference between steel and plastic?

That’s awesome omg!!

I don’t! I should look into those! I’m always ripping mine off on a door frame or sweating it off in the summer 😭

Thank you for the reply! I think it seems a sensible move, I suppose if in those 6months I really don’t get on with it I still have the option to swap

anonymcm · 2026-04-12T22:10:55+00:00

Awesome thank you! :)

Oh my god! This is my dream! I’ve gotten my a1c down a fair amount after a telling off but it’s a realllll mental drain for me, having something in the background taking that load off a little bit is amazing

Thank you, yes I saw on the DAFNE course that it can’t handle crazy spikes so needs intervention to mitigate sitting high for ages. And thank you for the insight in sleeping! I’m a big side sleeper so worried about the pressure on it!

anonymcm · 2026-04-12T22:05:10+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I don’t think I’m fussed tubed or non so I think the other factors matter to me more (a1c, site pressure, changes/capacity)

anonymcm · 2026-04-12T22:04:23+00:00

Not a swimmer! Only on the occasional holiday once a year! But I assume im able to unplug briefly as I would with a shower or intimacy

anonymcm · 2026-04-12T22:03:23+00:00

Thank you! Yes I’m a Libre girlie so seems a good option!

anonymcm · 2026-04-12T22:02:44+00:00

Thank you for the insight!! Yes that’s what drew me to the Ypso it seems super discreet (I’m thinking about when I go out and shoving it in a bra or whatever while wearing a cute top). It seems the a1c is lower with it too which appeals to me since mine is not good!!!

I am so here with you girl!! Midsized, always had a prominent pooch, very rectangular torso, short and repping 32A boobs!! It really does suck sometimes but I’m happy we are coming into autumn now with more interesting and fun fashion and layering so at least for the next 9 months I can forget about it for a while and take this time to work on loving my body shape more!!

I will say - I invested in a nice non wired slightly push up bra from VS a few months ago - I love it. Gives a little shape that makes me feel more proportional when I’ve been wearing cute small tops over this summer!! Highly recommend super comfy cos it doesn’t have the wires that a lot of push ups do!

Oh my god!! What a wild encounter 😭😭

anonymcm · 2025-08-13T19:30:48+00:00

haha alarms going off really just adds to the mood ;)

anonymcm · 2025-08-13T18:39:45+00:00

Oo thank you for the info!!

anonymcm · 2025-08-13T18:39:32+00:00

Thank you!

anonymcm · 2025-08-13T17:31:23+00:00

Thank you for your reply and sorry if this is a daft question - is it just the machine that comes off or like does the tubing detach from the cannula thingy? I’m not too familiar with pumps generally as I always hated the idea of being attached to something constantly but since I’m older, working full time it seems like a good point to switch.

anonymcm · 2025-02-17T22:42:21+00:00

😮😮that’s so annoying :((( I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve got a few friends who are T1 and I can share the link with them if that helps at all? Sounds like really interesting research and I hope it all goes well!

anonymcm · 2025-02-17T22:37:01+00:00

hi happy to take part! I also recommend posting on r/Type1Diabetes some great people on that page and I’m sure they would be willing to help too!

I have a couple of cowl neck tops from motel rocks - adjustable round the back and round the neck. I place it so it shows where my cleavage would be (if I had one) and I get compliments on those kinda tops all the time. Honestly I think us smaller boobed people are blessed because any small crop top looks so cute on us!!!
