Delilah Brien posted a discussionNew Omnipod user--help! Questions!
My 9 year old daughter has been on the Omnipod for three weeks. Every time she swims it seems the pod gets heavy/waterlogged and the cannula comes out. Does anyone have any recommendations for us?

Ronda Darling said… - Hello Delilah. Welcome to tudiabetes. My daughter also has type 1 diabetes. She was diagnosed exactly one year ago today. She is now three years old. She will start preschool this fall. Her name is Olivia. I see that you are on the pump. How is that going? Olivia is still on shots. She gets four insulin shots a day. She, like you Delilah, is very brave. I can tell that your family loves you very much! Maybe you and Olivia can become penpals.
