[Diabetes-Talk] OmniPod Gen 5 accessibility/useability

[Ed Worrell]

Hey Veronica,

I am hopefully getting the OmniPod in the next couple of weeks… There is a demo version of the app on the iOS Appstore, I know it’s not the same as actually utilizing the downloadable app on the Google PlayStore, but it is very accessible and honestly pretty easy to figure out. Here’s to hoping it’s as straight forward on Android! I’ll report back to the group with my findings, in the next few weeks!

Ed
