depends what kind of pump you have, I have the animas Ping, which uses radio-frequency communication between the meter and the pump, so It can't be exposed to radiation (apparently this can lead to over/under delivery of insulin), but if you can't bolus or change basal rates from your meter, it should be okay to go through the body scanner or the x-ray machine for carry-on, It just might mess up the communication if you have a meter paired with the pump.

Go to OmniPod's website and request a free sample. It was a little too big for me, but we all have different preferences.

The Minimed Revels aren't much different from previous Minimeds. Do you use the short tubing? I do and rarely have it catch on anything. I use the skin prep wipes and have only had the site rip our maybe once in 10 years. Sweat does make it harder to keep a site on. You can get special adhesive or just disconnect your pump and test every couple hours and reconnect to give a correction bolus if needed. That's what I've started doing at the beach if I'm in and out of the water a lot.

I agree with Mathew Guy. People will tell me that at least it isn't cancer or that diabetes is worse than cancer. I just dont like it when people compare diseases and disorders to make something look worse.

Part of having diabetes is that you become the poster child for all things diabetic. I don't know of any way to avoid other's questions. Try to come up with short answers like...

"I can eat anything a non-diabetic can, just have to adjust my insulin for it."

"You can do an infusion set in your stomach, legs, or even arm."

And always let people know, "If I start acting weird, get me a coke or some sugar."

I think only another diabetic can understand what it's really like. These forums have helped me a lot because there are tons of us out there, living good lives and dealing with diabetes.
