Visit Newcastle Diabetes Clinic

I visited The Newcastle Diabetes Centre (NE4 6BE) . I met with a Clinic Sister Nurse who was very kind and interested in the project! I was able to analyse the existing pumps supported by the NHS that they provide their patients. It was a really great opportunity to be able to interact with the pumps and get a greater understanding of their sizing, how they work and are interacted with. I managed to test the Freestyle Libre system and study the software interface of the controller. This is really useful to aid in the consideration of functionality of whatever I may design

Reflection:  The sizing of the Omnipod although I had pre visualised the dimensions was far smaller than I had imagined. I provided the Sister Nurse with my contact details and she seemed positive to connect me with some medical professionals in the industry. I look forward to further discussion and insights on my design ideation.
