Hi all. My sweet darling 5 y/o little girl was diagnosed 10/2010 (a week before her 4th birthday) w/ T1 diabetes. We've learned a lot, and eat healthy and have been on the OmniPod for the past 6 months. We have her A1C at 7.3. She is fantastically healthy, sweet and fun. We are blessed to have her...

My fiancé has an OmniPod product idea that was shot down by Insulet. OmniSkinz are accessories to customize your pod. If you would like to learn more about OmniSkinz and how you can help to make them possible, check out the link below and share it! Thank you for your support! scottimblum.wordpress...

I have been off the pump for 2 1/2 years, but i had the deltec cozmo for about 5years before that. From what i hear they don't even make this pump anymore. I've been thinking about going back on the pump because my A1C has gotten a little out of control. Someone suggested the omnipod. I like...

Hey All, My name is Adam and I work for diaTribe (www.diatribe.us), an online newsletter for people with diabetes. I just wanted to let all of you know that we've just released a new report, Targeting a Cure for Type 1 Diabetes: How Long Will We Have to Wait ? It's available as a free download...

I`m in need of second opinions. I`m having trouble choosing between Animas and Medtronic. In actuality, my first choice was Animas, but my mom likes the Medtronic because it has that Real-Time sensor that beep when you're having a hypoglycemic attack. So when I went to meet up with my Diabetes Care...

Hi Kelly, Katie asked me to weigh in for you some thoughts on the Omnipod. I was using the Animas Ping before I switched to the Omnipod. When I told my doc I wanted to switch to the Omnipod he was more than surprised, he knew I LOVED my Ping. I mean LOVED. Little doubts began creeping up into my mind...

Hey Melissa - no we haven't experienced that - but yesterday for the first time a pod just gave up and alarmed continuously - wasn't due to be changed until today so I don't know what was wrong with it. My husband had to hit it with a rock to stop it from alarming in the garbage can :-) has...

Hello! I live in California but am staying in Phoenix area over the weekend. I brought TWO OmniPods and they both fizzled out on me (very rare, but of course it happens on vacation). Does anyone live in the area using an OmniPod that would be willing to give me one? I will mail one back to you when I...

Im 14 and was recently diagnosed with diabetes (this may) . i recently did my demo with the pod and loved it but have some questions about it. -does the needle/catheter stay in you for the time that your wearing it or does the needle go in to give you the insulin and go back into the pod? im new at this...

I love my insulin pump. And I love my CGM. They’ve completely changed how I manage my diabetes and are helping me live a longer and healthier life. But they never shut up. I’m constantly beeping. It could be that I’m low or high and missed the first vibrations from my CGM. Or it could...

Ok im trying to decide between the Animas, accuchek, omnipod and medtronic pumps. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I’ve just recently started using a pump. For years I dismissed every question about starting one from my endo because of the dreaded tube. Now I know that the “terrible” tube is probably not a big deal. And I’m pretty sure I could’ve gotten used to it. But when I heard about...
