Marnie replied to LauraCBower's discussion 'OmniPod and Bikini season' in the group Omnipod Users"Just last week was the first time that we went to the local pool since getting the pod. I at first had to get over the initial shock of the nerve of some people. This one guy actually was pointing me out to someone. I'm not too shy, but I must…"
Marnie replied to KiwiRox's discussion 'Low and nausea'"When ever I go really high or really low its an awful feeling getting back on track. The headaches that I get are usually associated with a high. When I'm low I will babble on and on until I realize I have no clue what I was talking about. I…"

Marnie replied to Asma's discussion 'why can't I PUMP!?'"I had the same issue over and over. I went through three endo's until finally someone who felt the same way I did.

Marnie replied to Katsz's discussion '15 yr. old really wants the Omnipod' in the group Omnipod Users"I have had one person say to me " I wish I could have what you have for just a while", not funny at all to me.

Kat1997 said… - I have had that happen but it was not painful enough to change, I just left it and changed it over when the pod was empty. i have see when the condensation has cleared on its own and if the humidity is high it may not clear but i have not had major irritation from the blood area. I have had a couple in the past almost 2 years that have been bleeders when i removed the pod.
I have read other posts where people have had the same happen and they have tips and tricks to help. like one said to dry the pod window with a cuetip after it primes. I have not tried this, but they say it helps with the condensation issues.
Some have mention on occation they have seen some blood but nothing to serious.
I hope this helped and sorry I didn't reply sooner
Thanks and Good Luck

FatCatAnna said… - What length of needle are you using Marnie? Maybe that's the reason when you inject in your legs that you hit blood vessels - just a thought. I know I use the short pen needle - am very lucky I can use that with having diabetes so long - but it's so fine as well - 32g - oh - and it's teflon coated to boot. I always tell people that I can fry eggs on it - and they look at me like I have a screw lose in my head (wait - it's marbles!!!).

- Hey Marnie - just reading a comment you made about having a stomach like a pin cushion. Do you use only your stomach to inject? If you rotate from legs/arms it might give you a rest inbetween. I'm not saying you'll be wearing a bikini real soon (last time I wore one was ..... having brain fart here .... 15 I think ) - but at least a takini will do (I picked up a $12 one at Costco today - covers my tummy AND pump ). Do I sound vain or what?
