Diabetes Technology Insulin Pumps

I SAW THE OMNIPOD INSULIN POD AND LIKE THE PRESENTATION.

DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF THEY ARE SELLING THE PUMP OUTSIDE USA?

THERE IS NO LINK THROUGH THEIR SIDE ; NOR EMAIL ETC…

I AM LOCATED IN GERMANY / AND DUBAI.

You may want to contact Insulet (the manufacturer) for verification. I am originally from Japan, where any kind of wireless insulin pump/CGMS related items are NOT officially approved by the government for a personal use. But I have heard that there are few exceptions as long as it is used in a hospital settings as a part of “in house” training where a D-person stays overnight for a few days. Again, check with Insulet’s sales/legal departments and see how they respond. Good luck!

ITS VERY FRUSTTRATING ; HOW COMES THE IPHONE IS AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE WHILE AN INSULIN PUMP IS ONLY LIMITED …THERE ARE MORE DIABETICS IN THE WORLD THAN APPLE CUSTOMERS!

HELLO HAYAA, I AM BIAGIO FROM MILAN. DURING LAST 6 MONTH PEOPLE FROM INSULET WERE IN EUROPE TO SEARCH FOR VENDORS FOR DISTRIBUTING OMNIPOD. THEY WERE SEARCING FOR A UNIQUE FOR WHOLE EUROPE BUT MOST PROBABLE THEY WILL SIGN WITH DIFFERENT VENDORS IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.

IN ITALY NAME OF OFICIAL VENDORS SHOULD BE KNOW OFICIALLY NEXT JAN 2010 AND THEN THE NEW VENDOR WILL START TO AGREE CONTRACTS WITH NATIONAL HEALTH SYSTEM.

PEOPLE OF INSULET HAD A BIG TROUBLES IN SEARCHING PARTRENRSHIP WITH GREATEST MICRO MANUFACTURER HERE IN ITALY FOR 2 REASONS:

  1. THEY ALREADY STARTED WITH THEIR OWN TUBELESS MICRO PUMP PATCH PROJECTS
  2. THEY DID NOT JOIN MISSION OF INSULET SELL PRODUCTWHICH CAN IMPROVE LIFE O DIEBETICS WITH REASONABLE PRICES

WE HAD A NOT OFICIAL PRESENTATION OF OMNIPOD LAST 10 DEC 2009 WHERE I PARTECIPATED AND RECEIVED INFORMATIONS AND DOCUMENTATION AND ALSO A FREE DEMO TOOL KIT, SO I WAS ABLE TO APPRECIATE ALL BENEFITS OF THIS INVREDIBLE PRODUCTS AND EXPLAIN TO AL DIEBEES OMMUNIIES HERE IN ITALY

WE ARE SURE 2010 WILL BE YEAR OFOMNIPOD IN ITALY (I ATTACH E FUNNY PICTURE A TOOK)

WE ALSO WERE FORMED THAT INSULET HAS A PARTNERSHIP WITH DESXCOM IN INTEGEGRATE POD AND DESXCO SEVEN SENSOR INTO UNIQUE SENSOR (ENDOF 2010)

I HOPE THOSE INFORMATIONS COULD BE USEFUL

Thanks for the picture, fuy realy ? Just focus the great difference will be swim weaing a tubeless patch instead of detach for many hours (2-3) the conventional pump ith tube.
