[Diabetes-Talk] Omnipod 5

[Greg Wocher]

Hello,
I use the omnipod 5. The tricky part is going to be in the settings of the app. You will need to use screen recognition in parts of it. Other than that the app is very usable. I love mine.

If you have a way to record your training session, I would definitely suggest that as that would allow you to go back and listen to all the steps that the trainer may cover rather quickly at your session. Encourage her to show you how to do things using touch and let you practice it yourself rather than her just trying to show it to you which of course you won’t be able to see. Hands-on practice is the best way to learn the pump and the app. I would be glad to connect you with some members of our Blind diabetic community afterwards that you could speak with by phone to get any tips from.
