At 8:04am on July 19th, 2008, Linda said…: Hi Robin,
I do not find the Omni Pod difficult to wear at all. (This has been my 4th Pump in 34+ yrs) It is smaller than you may think and it is very easy to hide. The first time you wear it on your arms it may appear to feel awkward, but very soon thereafter you don’t even know it is there. I absolutely without a doubt like this pump the best out of all the other pumps I have used in the past! The freedoms of no tubing and its durability have done well for over the past 19 months. If you have any other questions in regards to this pump I would be happy to answer them for you.
Be Well,
Linda

I wear the minmed and I stick it where ever...it looks like a pager so nobody really notices it. I see lot's of people on this site that wear omnipod's. I remember seeing the guy from the Jonas Brothers on Ellen and he showed his omnipod and he had it on his upper arm. It just looked awkward to me. Just curious...you never now when I might change.

I really enjoyed talking with you at the meetup. Hope we can keep in touch. Have a healthy summer!

It was such a treat to meet you and your family at the meetup today. I've already created an event for July 11th of next year so it's on people's calendar.

But maybe we'll even have one before then. :-)

If you can make the diabetes meetup/picnic event that would be great. Just bring yourself and any family/friends you'd like. I'm not sure how many folks will be there, the more there are the happier I'll be.

Can you RSVP on the event page? That'll let others know who's going to be there.

See you on July 12th.
