Kaelyn has been doing a few test runs with the pod, and today we ordered it!
She has been waiting since the day of Dx for a pump, and was VERY disappointed when they wouldn't let her leave the hospital with one.
She's been waiting patiently, and she is handling the shots well, but she can't wait to be on the pump.
Here are a few reasons why we chose the Omnipod:
1. Tubeless! In other words, NO strings attached.
2. 24 hour pumping! No disconnecting for showers, sports, swimming! Yay!
3. Very easy site changes. The PDM guides you through all of the steps, and aside from filling the reservoir with insulin and sticking it on, it thinks for us! Fill it up and stick it on!
4. A smaller one is in the works: 33% smaller will make it even better!
5. A menu of food items: Many common food listings are built in!
6. Freestyle Test strips! These strips use very little blood, and are the ones we are currently using and we love!
7. Discreet or Not: It can "hide" under clothing or be worn with a swimsuit. And we found COOL peelz that cover the pod and make if fun!
8. Did I mention that there are no tubes? :)
We'll see how it goes when we get the pod pumping, but for now, I have a happy girl, and for that, I'm thankful!
