Bye Omnipod and Freestyle Test Strips,
Hello Medtronic and One Touch =].
Just started my MM522 today! im stoked!
You’ll love the Paradigm. May as well go the whole way and get the CGMS that goes with it- it is almost as life-changing as the pump itself.
I do use the Freestyle though. Definitely my favorite meter, and I’ve used just about all of them.
I love that TuDiabetes is on in the background!
Enjoy the new pump!
Yeah I was just thinking I might stay with Freestyle! I mean, I get 300 for a 15$ copay!.
and Haha I know I love tudiabetes it HAD to be my background picture =].
and Because I just had it with Insulet. I Wasted so much insulin, You HAD to have that bulky thing on you for 72 hours straight, I had horrible customer service!
I wonder what they could be adding to the x22 model. I would like some sort of super-bolus option for high-carb meals (for those that choose not to use Symlin). I’m surprised no pumps have that feature yet- it certainly is possible given the present state of the technology.
I was in a market research study for pumps last year and while they couldn’t divulge the manufacturer they were working for, I saw some extremely small working pump prototypes. A few of them looked impossibly small but they assured me it was a practical and working design. The size of the 722 has never been a big issue with me but I wouldn’t necessarily turn down something tiny either.
i just went to an introductory class last night for the minimed…i love it…technology is soo crazy. it amazes me…if only i had insurance to be able to afford one!! 
Love Minimed! They are supposed to come out with a wireless pump like the Omnipod some time in the future (won’t hold my breath) but they are working on it. Reliable, steady Minimed. 
Congrats! Are you liking it so far?
It has been over two months since I switched from Omnipod to MM. I have been very happy with the MM as well!
I did really like Freestyle, but my insurance doesn’t cover it like they do One Touch.
I recently upgraded to MM 522 from MM 512. I especially like the bolus wizard feature and how it can calculate dosage for meals or corrections down to the 10th of a unit.
congrats in your new pump! best of luck with it! we will miss you in the omnipod world =)
I also have the clear one, if you are vain like me, it matches everything!
Thank you guys! It is very exciting! and I love it already! haha =]. EXCEPT! I walked into a door yesterday and got a tiny scratch on the screen! =[, haha But w,e Just knowing the cannula is inside me 100% as to playing a guessing game with the automatic infusionset omnipod has not a forsure thing that it was inside me correctly. I feel alot more confident in this pump than with the Omnipod
I am so excited :D! thank you guys
congratulations and best luck with it!!
what color is thet.its hard to know without my eyeglasses!but it seems gray!!
i well have a pump soon,i think i will have the one that LOOKS white
dont you miss anything about the omnipod??
I keep my pump in a padded MP3 player case. Helps prevent scratches, but it’s not very fancy (i.e. I don’t work somewhere where I need to “dress up”.)
I have Shield cover for pump
I have zagg products for all my devices, my htc touch pro, all of our laptops and ipods - covered by a lifetime warranty
Okay sweet, im gonna look into all of those!
Does anyone use the CareLink?
I do
with the CGMS you get the usb uploader for free with the system. If not it is $59.99. If you have a good pump rep in your area sometimes they can get one for you.
Good luck Kenny! Please keep us updated on your new pump. I hope you finally found something that works for you:)

I view scratches on my pump the same way i view wrinkles on my face - battle scars, hard earned and signifying an active and interesting life.
Scratches on my iPhone - different story completely.
