Chatsters (fans of P2 Diabetes Chat podcast!) know just how much P1 and P2 love to explore new diabetes technology! In this episode they get their chat on exploring the Omnipod DASH, an insulin delivery system for people with type 1 diabetes in Australia.

As usual, Credentialled Diabetes Educators Jayne Lehmann and Kirrily Chambers deliver an episode with their honest opinions about Omnipods' features and experience supporting people with diabetes to use the device. As usual their humorous asides and the friendly banter see these very experienced gals of diabetes entertain as much as inform your understanding of another technology option in the diabetes treatment toolkit.
