Sorry the Omnipod isn't available in France. My son just started on it about a month ago. He is 7 years old and was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 5. We really like the pod because he is very active and doesn't have to deal with tubing like you do with other pumps. The PDM is very easy to use. He can manage most functions by himself. He has told me that since he wears the pod, it is like he doesn't have diabetes anymore. I hope that you can get a pump for your little one. It really does make a difference in their life and yours.

Good luck!
Amy

Hi Amy;

Just wondering how you are finding the adhesion of the Omnipod on your son? Where does he wear it? I would like to use the Omnipod, but I understand that it is difficult for thin people to find a good spot for it, and apparently their are issues with its ability to adhere properly.
