Hello there. I’m living in the Boston area, and I was wondering if there was anyone out there I could talk to about the OmniPod Insulin Management System. I’m curious about trying it out, and I want to know your opinion about the system.
We have a group for Omnipod users. You can find a lot of information there. To see the group, click here.
I would definitely check out the group kristin mentioned above. I have been on the omnipod since july of 08 and LOVE it! there are pros and cons, but this is the pump that fits best with me…people definitely voice their opinions about the omnipod, but remember you should look at options and pick the pump best for you! best of luck =)
Ditto. If you can, I would have a rep from each pump company come over and show you their pump. Really helps to touch and feel each pump.
I used the Omnipod from November until February, and then switched to the MM522. I didn’t have the best of luck with the Omnipod, if a few of the issues I had are fixed in their future systems…I would definitely be willing to give it a go again when my warranty runs out in 4 years. Right now though, the MM is working out better for me.
Hello,
Go to their website and they will send you a free Pod so you can wear it and see how big it is. I just got one the other day. You will need to call them for more detailed info because their packet is light on specific detail about pricing and things of that nature.
What they said. I really love it and have been using it since Oct. There are some issues some people have with the pod. It does not always stick to the body good depending on your skin type. Also some people have lots of occlusion. I’m not sure if that is from tougher skin or their muscle tone or what. Like any product, if it works for you you’ll love it and it if doesn’t you won’t. Hope you give it a try.
Thanks for your input everyone! I’ll keep looking into it.
