As always, thanks to everyone for the informative replies.
I'm currently wearing a sample of the Omnipod which the DSN at Russells Hall hospital gave me, have had it on for 3 days and played football in it for over an hour last night with no problems whatsoever. Wearing it on my arm and will remove soon as I know if it was the real thing it would be coming to the point where it would now be removed, ready for a new pod to go on my other arm, my stomach or legs.
I'm very much leaning towards this pump now, it feels very similar to wearing a Libre to me, which I had no problems with. I'll happily wear a Libre as well when I want to use CGM, and other than not having CGM built in I can't see/haven't read any real negatives of the Omnipod as far as I'm concerned.
