I have already been offered, but I am happy with the G6 so not sure why I would swap, unless cheaper for my NHS area.

Waited years for this! Spent day after day ploughing through rubbish on the poxy internet just looking for a clue as to when the Omnipod would be licensed with the G7. Then we get a T Slim…… and they sort it out! If that ain’t typical of Diabetes I don’t know what is!
The G7 and Omnipod 5 will definitely be a game changer and a really nice set up for, hopefully, thousands. This is great news

G7 only takes 30mins to warm up @PhoebeC opposed to G6 which is 120mins, surely that would be a good reason to change?

Think I would swap straight away given chance due to difference in time to become active, even though G6 has been incredible so far.

I did ask my nurse what the difference was and he didn’t mention this. I only realised myself last week.

I don’t mind the warm up time, I just do it around when I know I’m not out and about or due to exercise. It’s manageable for me at the moment.

Also I don’t think it can be worn in as many different sites?
I like that I can rotate the sites with the G6.

We use G7 and tslim and it works well. The transmitter is included instead of separate like with the G6 so it’s one less bit of faff and it’s slightly smaller, although not much. The warm up time is really good. I don’t know if it adds anything else in terms of looping with the omnipod. The applicator is less like being shot (my kid’s words).
