In recent years in the diabetes world, technology has advanced so much, and it has meant that people reliant on insulin can get greater control and quality of life.
If you are lucky enough to be offered an insulin pump with hybrid closed loop, and have the choice between different brands, it can be hard to decide which brand to go for, especially as each pump has different features that are hard to compare. Luckily for us, the Diabetes Specialist Nurse (DSN) Forum UK have made a handy chart for healthcare professionals, available on their website and also accessible to patients. It compares five different brands of pump that offers Hybrid Closed Loop (HCL) to help people make informed choices.
The 5 brands it compares all available on the NHS (although these differ from health board to health board), and these include the Medtronic pump and Medtronic CGM, Tandem T-slim and Dexcom, Dana pump and Dexcom, Ypsomed with Dexcom or Libre CGM, and Omnipod with Dexcom or Libre CGM. Find below the chart to help you make an informed decision:
Until Next Time,
