- Hi Jim,
Well I was wondering if you had begun pumping with the Omni Pod pump yet? If so how is it going?
I am on 19 months now and doing well!
Take Care,
Linda

Karen Vecchitto said… - Yeah, that whole tubeless thing is just a clincher isn't it?!! I also really like being able to set different basal programs for different days. I have one for "regular" days and one for days that I go to the gym right now. I may get even more specialized as time moves on. Especially with Summer coming!

- Hi Jim! Nice to meet you. I recently started on the Omnipod. It's been almost four weeks. I used another pump many years ago and really disliked the whole tubing thing, especially clamping the tubing off for showering and such. This thing rocks! I am still going through a little bit of adjustment and some days are tricky but I am learning and things are really improving! I am looking forward to my next A1C!

oops, here you go

(hopefully that works now)
agree with you 100% about the awkwardness when you're out. i have to find a bathroom or some private place so i can test and inject, and it's such a hassle when i'm traveling and the bathrooms aren't always the cleanest.
