    If you download the RapidCalc App to your phone, input your ratios and let the tech take the strain.

    Detached retina

    Danny, I had a victrectomy late last year, I also opted to get it done whilst asleep. All I would say is that it is utterly painless and although all the drops post op are a pain and laying on your front for a couple of days can be boring you'll be fine. I loaded my I-pad up with films and laid...

    Start on the omnipod next Wednesday. Any tips?

    New to Omnipod

    I've only just fitted my first one (using saline for 2 pods). I go live in a couple of weeks. I've placed it on my stomach and last night I went on a rowing machine and felt like it might not stay on very long (it did stay but some of the tape around the side had lifted). I guess it's very much...

    Fair comment, it seems a sensible place to me but not recommended apparently. I'm not sure I need to save milliseconds though :)

    Hi, I've seen photos of Olympic Skier Kris Freeman wearing his Omnipod on his chest and wondered if anyone knew if there was a particular reason for using this position? Has anyone else used this or other places not covered by Omnipods recommendations?
