[QUOTE="ArtemisBow, post: 1054530, member: 115728"] I can't comment on the Omnipod for ease of hiding but the Accu-chek insight I use is very discreet. People who know me well will sometimes ask where the hell it is because they are looking for it and can't spot it. I was concerned like you that it would make me stand out more as a diabetic but I think it's actually less - now when I'm eating in public, I just get out the handset and it looks just like a phone, no one knows the difference. And the peace of mind it has given me when exercising etc is wonderful. If you do decide to go for it then find out what types will be on offer, and have a good read about the various features of each. What works for someone else may not work for you. Also if you can read the Pumping Insulin book there is a section about choosing a pump and the factors to consider, which I found really helpful. [/QUOTE]
