OmniPod was my first pump. I chose it because it didn't have wires and seems the best way to hide it. I LOVED it when i first got it, it changed my life. I have had it for about 3 years now and even upgraded to the new style device. I now have nothing but PROBLEMS! The device turns off on its own all the time even when I'm checking my sugar. I have to use a new strip and new lancet and pake my self all over again! Also the pods deactivate on their own! So i have to stop what I'm doing and change my pod (waste insulin, pods and TIME). This problems have been reoccurring verrrrrry frequently lately and i think I'm DONE with this omnipod. I love the fact that i don't have to worry about wires but its becoming too stressfull to deal with the negative qualities!
