[QUOTE="Spicey245, post: 812059, member: 95872"] I am waiting to try out the Insight in June, I have tried the Omnipod and the Animas Vibe. The Omnipod has an alarm which goes off if it fails (and it did when it failed on the second day for me)... woke myself and my husband up at 5.30 am!! I wouldn't want it going off if I was at a theatre or cinema as it's REALLY loud!! Also, the pod never stuck down properly from the start even though I'd followed the instructions of the DSN and then it managed to become dislodged which was very painful and I had to remove it on day two. So, after my own personal experience with the OmniPod, I am now certain I want a pump with a tube and a choice of canula's but also with a separate handset. The Vibe was good but I had to keep routing for it under my clothing which was a bit annoying. You should be allowed to trial both though and hopefully you will have a better experience with the OmniPod than I did. :) [/QUOTE]
