This would be interesting to me if there was a 1U version. 2U is not precise enough for lowering BG, which while I'd like to avoid it is needed in certain circumstances.
I had my first visit with an endocrinologist last week and was shocked to hear that I needed to be on insulin. She held up two products, the Cequr and something larger and told me to pick without much introduction. The cequr looked smaller and lighter, so I picked that. Pretty simple to use, no complaints yet, but I’ve only worn it 3 days. I just slip my hand up my sleeve and click it. Very discrete. My only complaint is wearing cequr on one arm and a dexcom on the other. I’m a complete newb at this though and I’ve only got a 30 day supply, so if it doesn’t work out, I can try something else.
I have been using it for a month . thought it was a new thing ? but I really like it . I am very busy and work long 12 hour shifts . it's perfect for me to have it on me . then I can do the insulin without anyone knowing . very convient .
I use a 770g, waiting fir the 780 update. My 8 year old nephew uses a pen, and hates the injections the poor kid. This patch would be great for him while he waits for a pump, but he doses with halves of a unit.
I’m MDI using inpen largely because Im very active and don’t want to deal with complexities of pump. Would love if this “new” device incorporated Bluetooth connectivity to automatically log and track insulin delivery. Also, I appreciate the history, kamil.
Yes, I think Bluetooth for tracking or even NFC for scanning to keep it cheap would be ideal. Also, 4 days ago I posted a video about inPen updates with the new Guardian 4 CGM which you might find interesting.Thanks for watching!
Yes, I want to try the SeQur. If I can contact the manufacturer I could collect a lot of data for them and hopefully help. What is their email address?
Thanks so much for kind words! Regarding availability, it’s currently in limited launch in the US. More info on ordering here www.myceqursimplicity.com/training
After seeing how easy and how much its improved my 10 year old type1 im more on the Inhaled insulin band wagon.Easy to take the Corrections have drastically reduced to meer minutes.Afrezza is what its called and its in the trial for children as we speak.Now my little one only needs Lantus at night 1 injection amazing. Its not for everyone lungs have to be strong.
Funny invention but in 2021 I expect smarter devices than this. A) delivery tracking and b) a signal when it’s empty is the minimum. However this could be the next step. Nevertheless I don’t want to miss a pump anymore
It’s a great concept. I just wish they had better up-to-date features, like an app showing the amount to be bloused and IOB, or at least a display on the patch showing the number of presses as one is bolusing and the amount of insulin left in cartridge. I also wish presses were customizable (0.5 ,1 , or 2 units)
It's a mechanical only device. No electronic components. If you added all that you'd need a battery and Bluetooth modem which would at least double the size, not to mention the price.
@blondy2061h we get that, however quite a few important features mentioned can be very easily done analog! Some insulin pens have a little "last given" display with numbers that flip like an old clock Etc etc
2u increments is pretty coarse and also I could see losing count of how many times you press those buttons. Seems a bit crazy that there is no tracking of how much insulin is being given, even a syringe has markings to show how much insulin will be delivered.
I don't want to knock an idea because I'm sure someone would find it really helpful. But I feel it's a bit outdated. I could've seen it as a pump predecessor or a nice transition between shots to pump. Being stuck at 2 units isn't terrible but not ideal if you've got to bolus 12 units and remember how much you gave. I would totally mess up. If it had a lil screen on top maybe to just count how many times youve clicked for that bolus that might be good. Hard to see the point of it but if someone uses it and it works great more power to them!
Great question! I think it will depend on individual CCGs sadly. Some CCGs cover iPort from Medtronic which would come under the same funding criteria as this. Simplicity is only in limited launch in the US so we will learn more about international plans in months to come. I will update here if there are any new information about UK :)
When I lived near San Francisco about ten years ago I was on a medical trial for this product. They paid me a lot to test it it was very interesting. Overall I didn't really like it.
It's certainly a very interesting product. Everytime I see something like this, though, I always come back to how inferior it is to the Omnipod. I guess for a person with type 2 who doesn't want to worry about setting a basal rate, it would be better. But anyone needing bolus insulin is going to need basal, too, in which cause the V-Go might be the better option. Maybe if the pre-programmed basals on the V-Go don't work for someone? I guess no need for a separate controller, simplicity, size, and cost would be the advantages over the Omnipod. The separate controller aspect will be mitigated soon when Omnipod is controlled from a cell phone. And Omnipod can really be as simple or complex as you want. If you never want to change your basal or use extended boluses or temp rates or the bolus calculator you don't need to. If Omnipod could ever add a bolus button and become a bit smaller they would really have a monopoly in this space.
People who require a bolus replace the need for basal with long acting insulin. This is essentially mechanical-only pump, and replaces the need to carry around a pen, so you can’t forget it anywhere or have to keep the needles. It is also smaller than an omnipod, and that alone may make it worth it for some.
Just out of interest, how do you find sleeping with the Omnipod, I’d love one, but I sleep on my side, and do think it would interfere with my sleeping position.
I sleep on my side too and i have my pod on my arm. I sleep on the other (non pod) site as that’s the most comfortable for me. The good thing I find about it is that I can put it on many sites like abdomen or even back of the arm.
@@sarahbannon4752 I sleep right on it and don’t feel it at all. I had Medtronic tubed before and that was hard to sleep with as it was bigger and got tangled
I've used Medtronic tube pumps for 7 years now. No problems sleeping. I sleep on both sides, back, or stomach. Pump is always on the stomach to one side. Clipped to the waistband of shorts. Sometimes the pump is above my body and only covered by the blankets. Other times the pump is under my body against the mattress. Never any problems.
This is super cool I tried the omnipod but I found it was uncomfortable because it was too bulky and no matter where I put it there was always some part of my day where it bugged me. This could be worth trying. The only thing is I'm pretty insulin sensitive and on a low carb diet so I need 0.5U dosing and 2U dosing is way too much.
Why 3 day Limit? 180U is enough for up to a week? (I know that long would be too warm to use) Does it sound an alarm and stop delivering insulin like the Omnipod does?
Direct from user manual: “Rotating or changing the site of infusion at least every 3 days is necessary to minimize the risk of infection and to ensure proper absorption of insulin. “ Full manual pdf in the video description. Hope this helps
Very very interesting! Only available in the US so far in a limited release. Recent funding from Tandem and Ypsomed will be used to scale up manufacturing so we need to watch for now.
I see this device pointless 😢 Everyone is waiting for Omnipod 5 the loop option and it look like an eternity the wait 😭😢😭😢 I don't understand how come for cov19 vaccine was fast aprovel and for the Omnipod 5 loop option that we been waiting nothing yet 😭😢😥 is not Fair
Wow it's nice to find people who also trades with Kiana Danial. She's been managing my trade for months and I keep making profits every week. I made $7,130 last week.

Id forget how many times I pressed it and 2 unit being the minimum is bad. Might as well use the pens.
This would be interesting to me if there was a 1U version. 2U is not precise enough for lowering BG, which while I'd like to avoid it is needed in certain circumstances.
this is honestly really cool but needs a 1 unit version for sure

Same technique as the first bad boy NovoPen from 1985. I still miss that pen to this day. Sleek, solid, simple quality piece of engineering.

Always nice to see you.

Interesting, never knew this existed... But it does seem like 'being discreet' is the only benefit of this compared to using an i-port though.

Especially when you're in high sugars and your brain gets fuzzy, I know I would not be able to confidently say how many units I've given for sure 😅

But it doesn’t communicate with DexcomG6 therefore I have no use for it
Any further news on UK availability via NHS?

When I lived near San Francisco about ten years ago I was on a medical trial for this product. They paid me a lot to test it it was very interesting. Overall I didn't really like it.
I love the concept but wish it tracked dosage and times.
Wonder if the Omnipod 5 Horizon will give better blood glucose control than Tandem X2? Better algorithm? Better cannula?
It's certainly a very interesting product. Everytime I see something like this, though, I always come back to how inferior it is to the Omnipod. I guess for a person with type 2 who doesn't want to worry about setting a basal rate, it would be better.

If you never want to change your basal or use extended boluses or temp rates or the bolus calculator you don't need to. If Omnipod could ever add a bolus button and become a bit smaller they would really have a monopoly in this space.
I strictly do Bolus Insulin and do not need Basal. One can need Bolus without having to take Basal.
People who require a bolus replace the need for basal with long acting insulin. This is essentially mechanical-only pump, and replaces the need to carry around a pen, so you can’t forget it anywhere or have to keep the needles. It is also smaller than an omnipod, and that alone may make it worth it for some.
This product reminds of the V-go. I wonder if this one is any easier to use.
Great video thanks

Sometimes the pump is above my body and only covered by the blankets. Other times the pump is under my body against the mattress. Never any problems.
I use the Omnipod, but I would try a product like this for short vacations (in tandem w/ a pen for my long acting insulin).
Thanks for sharing! Thats a great idea! It does sound like an ultimate pump break device for pumpers.
How much does this cost in the U.S. ?
This is super cool I tried the omnipod but I found it was uncomfortable because it was too bulky and no matter where I put it there was always some part of my day where it bugged me. This could be worth trying. The only thing is I'm pretty insulin sensitive and on a low carb diet so I need 0.5U dosing and 2U dosing is way too much.
It would great if they did a second version which has 1 unit increments for PWD who are more insulin sensitive.
I don’t really see the advantage against the pens but maybe I am not looking through the correct lens. Thanks for the review.
I guess it's the - always there thing... and giving yourself a bolus without anyone around noticing it.
