There's a press release on 11 april (link) which states:
Ypsomed will become the exclusive distributor of the OmniPod insulin pump in a total of 22 countries, including several additional countries in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
......
"We have recently sent Ypsomed their initial shipment of the next generation OmniPod for sale in Europe where it has CE Mark clearance...."
I'm wondering if anybody as an insiders view and can tell which are these countries ?
Here in Italy we are waiting omnipod from so long ....

Cheers,

I'd like to see what else I can do to help you with your company...
AND by the way, do you know the new features of the next gen pod?? I figured you might...
super bolus?
Insulin lookback?
insulin timer? ( to estimate time to less than 150 for a correction)
etc...
etc...

Pancreum (and I) are in the San Francisco Bay area now (Fremont, CA). So I won't be at the event in Orlando. I wish Kennedy the very best.
Unfortunately, I don't have any info on the new pod features. They don't have FDA approval yet, so they won't be available in the U.S. for a while.
Cheers,
Gil
