John Minnihan@shanselman is the pump worn or is it 'installed' like a pacemaker? i see this device referenced but what are the logistics?
@jbminn 99% of them are external, and you (me) install them with a plastic canula and an inserter. Google for "omnipod" to see an example of the one I use. It's installed on me every 80 hours, by me.
@shanselman thanks for responding. this is an area of medical care with which I have no experience
@jbminn sure! Google "hanselman artificial pancreas" and click videos if you want a deep dive
