Limited stock of NovoRapid PumpCart 1.6ml, until 2027. New Ypsomed starts to use self-filled reservoirs. We encourage diabetes teams/pregnancy networks to work out back up plans with current users if there are supply issues. We encourage everyone to only order as needed.
Check with your Diabetes Team as you may require 10ml vials of insulin from your GP and reservoirs from Ypsomed.
