This is my third day of using my Omnipod with insulin (started with saline). I love it. My daily bg average yesterday was 117, it was 123 the first day!! I was averaging 145+ prior and my most recent A1c was 7.6. I LOVE this product!! I have no complaints at all yet!! :)

Welcome to the community, Alice! I enjoyed reading your take on minimed vs. omnipod. I recently shopped for a new pump and know how hard it is to choose what's right for you when they're essentially all good products. I ended up going with a Cozmo after 8 years on minimed, but I am so glad to hear that you like Podding!

You seem like you've got a great attitude about your 'new life' with diabetes. You're about 6 months in, yeah?

Hello! I noticed you decided to go with the Omnipod, how is it working for you?? I have been Podding since May! I LOVE, no regrets. I have had a few bad pod's but nothing major!!!

Hi Alice!
I'm sure you'll reach your goal! I can assure you by my experience that with shots is completely possible to keep it under 6! For 2 years I've had it between 4.9 and 5.9! Take care!Ale x
