Meet our Podders®
See how the small, light, and tubeless Omnipod® Insulin Management System is helping to change lives for the better.
The Omnipod® has really given me the quality of life, it changed my lifestyle and I already can see an improvement in my Diabetes management.

I would definitely recommend pump therapy. I know it’s not for everyone, but it’s made such an improvement to my life.

It’s ok to have an “off” day. I think it’s easy to beat yourself up when you have a day when your blood sugars have been high but we need to remember that it’s a marathon, not a sprint.

What a Swing! We are delighted to announce that Hannah McCook, Scottish Pro-Golfer has become an official ‘Podvocate’. Hannah started playing golf when she was 6 years old, fast-forward to her 20’s and she is touring the world as a professional golfer! Hannah’s top tip for travelling the world and managing T1 diabetes is to ‘be prepared’. Hannah became a Podder® in 2018 and loves the tubeless and waterproof1 features of the Omnipod® System – she says the Omnipod® System has helped her Diabetes Management and she loves the simplicity of use that supports her hugely busy life.

Catch him if you can!
Catch him if you can – Marcus has a talent for marathons and more. Training daily and competing with athletes in challenging events has become integral to the way he successfully manages diabetes he believes.
I have run over woods with the Omnipod® System for 13 hours and it was over 13500 feet in elevation. I have also done surfing... in and out of the water*, I really put it to the test.

When she first put on the Pod, she said it made her feel so free that she danced around the kitchen!
When Myrthe isn’t travelling and blogging, she loves hanging out with her friends, cooking and relaxing. Myrthe was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 4 years old but only went ‘tubeless’ in her twenties with the Omnipod® System.

I love being able to put the Pod on different parts of the body and then being able to place the handset in my pocket or a bag.
