Neighborhood Diabetes (DME) bought out by Insulet

Just recieved a letter in the mail from Neighborhood telling me that Insulet bought them out…

Has anyone else heard this or gotten the letter?

My first response is…Cool!

Hopefully it’s not a financial blunder for Insulet. If not, it indicates growth which, hopefully, translates into an improved product.

Also, while it is convenient to have my Pod supplies Fed-exed to my door, I would love the opportunity to make a quick trip down to the local pharmacy to pick up pod supplies in a pinch.

Hi -

I use Neighborhood Diabetes for my pump supplies and they deliver mail order. Unless you live near one of their three centers nationwide, they aren’t a local pharmacy.

They are not quite a local pharmacy BUT they do allow for pickup… if your local to them…
