Over 3,200 Omnipod Users

As of September 2007, Insulet reported that there were 3,200 people using the OmniPod. I started using the OmniPod at the end of October. I can't believe how the OmniPod has made diabetes a smaller part of my life. No more shots 4+ times a day. No more excusing myself to find a private place for a shot before or after a meal.
During my research on the OmniPod, I noticed a need for a website that pulled OmniPod information from all over the internet into one place. I created a blog (http://www.ouromnipod.blogspot.com) as a gathering spot for news and experiences of OmniPod users. This forum is intended to allow each of us to discuss and share our experiences so that we can help each other 'make diabetes a smaller part of our lives.'
