Insulin Pump Supplies
Regular insulin management is critical to diabetes self-care, and there are many ways you can take your insulin to keep your blood sugar levels in check. Some patients may prefer syringes, while others may use insulin pens to get their required doses throughout the day. However, there's another, simpler option for those with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes: insulin pumps. Have you spoken to your health care professional and received approval for using insulin pumps for diabetes management? If so, you can find insulin pumps and insulin pump supplies here.

Omnipod is a tubeless and waterproof insulin pump called a "pod" which gives you more flexibility than a tubed pump. It can be worn anywhere an insulin shot is given, either under clothing or on the back of your arms. The pod is applied every 3 days through a cannula that inserts with a press of a button. The pod communicates with a handheld diabetes manager, wirelessly, to deliver insulin based on your personal settings, set or variable insulin rates. The Omnipod pump can help you better manage your diabetes.
-
Medtronic has been a leader in insulin pumps and accessories for many years. They offer a few different models. Medtronic pumps require a tube to deliver the insulin from the pump to your body. Pump placement can remain discreet, easy, and comfortable. The latest pump models also contain a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) which will automatically test your blood sugars every 5 minutes. This helps you acquire more stable blood sugars with less highs and lows, leading to improved diabetes control.

Tandem pumps offer extremely innovative technology. They were the first to offer a touchscreen pump to make pump use easier. Tandem also requires tubing to connect the infusion set to the pump. It can be placed easily and discreetly on multiple body areas. The latest pump features "IQ technology" which helps stabilize blood sugar levels through an automated insulin dosing system. This helps you "stay in range" with fewer episodes of low and high blood sugars with ultimately better overall diabetes control.
