Anyone Thinking About Getting The Omnipod

I’ve been tracking my pod over the last couple of days and this morning I see that it is just one state away. I want to open it ASAP and start but I have to wait for CDE to train me on Oct 9th, then he wants me to train another day on Oct 15th to actually begin using insulin.

WHAT!!!WHY NOT START ON THE NINTH!!!

I’ve read where many of you start the day you get it because you’ve been pumping for so long. This is my firs time so I guess I’ll wait.

I should have mine in about 2 weeks. I used a minimed for a few years, but it was like being on a leash. Right now, I’m on MDI (total of 7 with the symlin) and it’s gotten OLD. And when I go out to lunch with my co-workers, it gives them the willies when I inject in front of them.
One of the main reasons I gave the MM up was that I couldn’t swim with it on. I’m really looking forward to it.
