Welcome to The Glucose Neverlies Podcast!
When it comes to Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) systems, there is no single "best" option, only the right one for each individual. Choosing an AID system can feel overwhelming, but with the help of my good friend, colleague, and Diabetes Nurse Extraordinaire, Louise Collins, we have transformed the decision into something much more fun: selecting a superhero.
Each AID system has its own strengths, weaknesses, and unique characteristics, making them better suited to different people and situations. Some prefer control and flexibility, like Spider-Man, while others want the sheer power and aggressive glucose correction of the Hulk. Those who favour strategic adaptability might relate more to Batman, while others may prefer the sleek, automated ease of Iron Man.
In this episode, we compare the four leading AID systems—Tandem t:slim X2, Medtronic 780G, CamAPS FX, and Omnipod 5—through the lens of the superheroes they most resemble. By the end, you’ll have a clearer idea of which system might suit your lifestyle and diabetes management style best.
Whether you value customisation, automation, or a balance of both, the key to success with any AID system is choosing the one that works best for you. Let’s dive in!
