thanks for info on pumps and preferences. additional comment & ?

do all pumps utilize wireless technology? i am not a proponent of using wireless technology at all near the body. i have done a huge amount of research and these devices utilize pulsed radio frequency microwave radiation the same frequency as a microwave oven / cell phone / tower / wi fi / etc. the new cell phone manuals now have brain cancer warnings in them and also tell you to keep them away from the body. i have not seen the literature supplied with the pumps but i would guess that there is some kind of warning. magda havas from trent university in canada has done a lot of research with diabetes and radio frequency radiation. her site is www.magdahavas.com i hope that these are not all utilizing RF and can be used without a meter?? my website is www.wirelesswatchblog.org
thanks for all the great comments !!

Any one of them besides the OmniPod can be used with RF turned off.

I'm sure the government bounces more radio freqeuncies off me than my little dexcom ever will.
