An expert's guide to choosing the right AID insulin pump system for type 1 diabetes | Type 1 on 1

Which insulin pump is right for me? Is a question only you can answer, but it can be hard to find the right information to make the decision.

This video offers a helpful breakdown of the current main automated insulin delivery (AID) systems on the market for managing type 1 diabetes.

Diabetes specialist dietician, diabetes technology consultant, diabetes educator, type 1 diabetic and founder of The Glucose Never Lies John Pemberton joins me to deliver this special focus on hybrid closed loop systems, offering insight into how the Tandem Control IQ, CamAPS FX mylife Loop, Omnipod 5 and Medtronic 780G work.

Using John’s helpful superhero personas we take a deep dive into each one, highlighting the most important features among this almighty line up.

Spoiler: They’re all great, and there is no wrong choice.
