There have been some updates in two reference pages on this site:
Partly it’s just updating things with new dates, but there are some new things in there which may excite some of you. Such as:
- AndroidAPS has reached version 3.0 this month. It’s available now. New features include support for the Omnipod DASH pumps as well as the DANA-i.
- Insulet’s “Omnipod 5” closed-loop system has achieved FDA approval in the US, although it’s presumably a while off from approval in other countries, let alone supply.
- Tandem’s Control-IQ closed-loop firmware for its t:slim X2 pump is allegedly arriving in Australia in April.
As usual, there are still more updates in the pipeline. I have a feeling it’s going to be an interesting year!
Do you know if omnipod will be funded in anyway or covered by insurance?
There is work underway to make that happen (and I believe some in-principle support from the current federal Health Minister) but no-one yet knows the timeframes that will be involved with getting frameworks and possibly legislation updated.
