Amber, I don’t deal with either of your cons, because I have the Omnipod.
First, the cost is no more for me than when I was doing shots. The Omnipod system was $800, but with insurance, we only paid $80. This is much less than the other pumps which tend to be $2,000-$4,000. And, my pods and insulin cost just about as much as my insulin pens did.
Second, the Omnipod has no cords, which i LOVE.
Bill, I will always recommend the pump to someone. I am so happy with having a pump, and don’t invision ever going back! I love that I no longer have to do the math! It does it for me!
