Hey, thank you. I really hope I win that video contest, and win that new apple laptop. I don't even know how I have a 5.3, and only a few lows, but I am still somewhat in the honeymoon period, but still, wow. So do you use the omnipod too?

Mark - I imagine it's really hard to learn how to manage diabetes in college - I got my pump a week before starting at NEU, and that was hard to manage! Hope you're doing well.

Hi Mark

We had a great Diabetes meetup last month in Belmont, which is close to Boston. I wanted to let you know that I'm organizing a similar meetup in July 2009, maybe I'll get a chance to meet you then.

Hi Mark! Your story sounds pretty similar to mine. I was diagnosed two months before the end of my senior year of HS. My endo says I'm not ready for a pump yet, but I have been looking around and the omnipod seems pretty cool. Do you like it?

hmm yea. well, i use a ton of insulin, so the 300 will be just fine for me. yea, my clothes are kinda fitted, so i know its going to show through super easily, but i can get used to that. i was wondering about the tubing thing. what if theres air in the canal? i dunno... my insurance has approved me getting it, and im really leaning towards it. i travel a lot and it'd be great to not have to carry around so so many different supplies. i tend to always forget "one" thiing and it messes up everything.
