Karen M. replied to Monica's discussion 'Just Wondering...' in the group Mississippians w/"Sugarbeetus""Hey there Monica, One thing I can think of is using support hose during the day and remembering not to leave your feet hanging down.

I've been having mixed feelings about the OmniPod. The system is great but the PDM controller was giving me problems, problems, problems... So I called the company and had a new one shipped over night, and I am sending the old one back.. I am still within my trial period so, if I decide that I don't want it, I'll send it back.
Pro's
- Tubeless
- I hate wearing it on my my shomach.. and I don't know where else I'd wear it with tubing
- Customer support is amazing
- Pdm is significantly less expensive
Con's
- If I could get just amazing coverage with insurance on a different pump
- Pods are more expensive

- Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to my questions on the TYpe 1 forum. They were very helpful and I shared some of the results with my classmates in my group. I also gave them the link to the entire survey.
Thank you again!
