I also have insulin leakage because of the inflammation. Also absorption was a problem for the same reasons, My cannulas would slip out of the hole when the…"
Danielle replied to Bethany's discussion 'Omnipod - my horrible experience.'"I am so sorry you are having a tough time with the Omnipod. I really do feel for you, as I was there once before. I was on the Omnipod for about 3 1/2 months (November 2008-mid February 09), and had to discontinue use for very similar reasons.

Ren replied to Bethany's discussion 'Omnipod - my horrible experience.'"Sounds like a massive headache. Is it possible to load less insulin into the pod to reduce the amount you risk losing if you have to change it?? I have had zero success dragging insulin back out.
I feel for you, I really do. I'm sure I'd…"

Hi everyone! I am 19, currently in college. I was diagnosed at age 8, and went on and off the medtronic minimed pump. Ever since Nick Jonas (Whom I was absolutely in love with) got the Omnipod pump, I investigated and decided I wanted to try it out! I needed something different; a change perhaps. My insurance company held to a strong no on covering this pump until this past April.I finally was trained and all set up on it at the beginning of this past May. At first I LOVED it. I really liked…See More

Bethany posted a discussionChildren With Diabetes Conference 2011
Hello! Does anybody know if children with diabetes provides scholarships or financial help with attending this event? I live in michigan and we don't really have the money right now.. I beleive I could probably pay my own way, but I am 17 and I don't think my parents will let me go alone, and I don't have the money or time to earn the money for a parent to also attend. So if anyone has any information could you please let me know? thank you =]
