They all cost around $6000 with the exception of the Omnipod. Although I haven't actually spoken to anyone who has used it the company was quoting a start up cost of $1000-$1500. The Omnipod doesn't have tubing that connects to a pump. The pump with the insulin and infusion set is all in one small "pod" that adheres to the skin and the part that controls the amount delivered is seperate. Although the intial cost might be lower the cost is sure to be made up with the "all in one" pods. However, insurance companies might willing be to pay for the Omnipod since the initial cost is so much lower. But the company is only selling in limited areas right now, so?

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.
And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

My insurance was just billed at $6700 but the "allowed" portion by insurance was $4500. I paid around $500.
Not sure yet what my diff in monthy supplies will be, but I'm sure it'll be a little more than just plain syringes (which I still need anyway cuz I'm on Symlin too!)...

If you have health insurance and your doctor finds a pump medically necessary and the insurance accepts the doctors opinion.........it shouldn't cost anything more than your co-pay or deductible or a combination of both

There is a lot of stuff on the internet that is basically fat-shaming diabetics for causing their own diabetes with their bad diet and lack of exercise and general lack of moral fibre. A lot of this stuff is written by non-doctors, often with a supplement or diet or training plan to sell that they claim will completely cure diabetes if only people stick to it.
I read this interesting book https://tr.im/wH1y5 that gave me a lot of useful tips about my disease and also a different perspective on the best therapeutical approach. I think you should read it too.

4 years ago my insurance company was charged $6000. I had to pay 10%. Not sure how much one costs today, but that can give you an idea.
