Thank you very much Leggott. I heard the new PDM and the smaller pods are coming out around September, and I hope it won't be rescheduled. Yesterday I've placed my pod on my right side on a fatty place and I don't feel it at all I think this will be my favourite spot, but I still want to try it...

Hello Leggot, Thank you for your fast reaction. First of all, I am sorry to hear that both your children have diabetes. It is nice that you are involved and know so much about diabetes. My mother keeps track of all the news about diabetes and wants to know my test results and glucose levels...

Dear All, I have tried to use a pump with tubing, but 8 out of 10 times it hurt when I inserted the needle. The tubing always got in my way and I felt I like I was living on batteries. Last Wednesday I installed my first Omnipod and I think it is much better than the pump with tubing. The...

Hey dancingplasticfish, That is a very good idea indeed to cut a hole on the insides of your pockets. At first I wore my pump in my pockets as well, but now I have a small pouch which I can hang on to my trouser. It looks like those mobile phone pouches, except it hangs loosely; which is a bit...

Dear All, I am sorry for my late reply, I have been very busy. I have started a new study, and I just finished my exam week. I don’t know whether you all experience this too, but when I am very nervous – I become very nervous when having exams – my glucose level either drop or they go up. This...

Dear All, I would like to thank Ebony for sharing her experience with me, I hope your well. I would really like to read about your experiences of living with diabetes type 1. Did you know that when you have diabetes type 1, chances are you are actually allergic to different types of sugar? I...

I didn't know steel tubes existed, mine are made of soft and flexible plastic and they are very vulnerable. The needle you shoot in is made of steel, but the needle you remove and the plastic is left behind. About the omnipod, how do you receive insulin when there’s no tube? When I was...

Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I’m sorry to hear about your father. There is another reason why I don’t like using the pump. I was taught to insert an infusion set every other day, but it’s all about luck with the insertion of the infusion set. Some days it works out well, but...

Dear All, My name is Paula and I am 24 years old and I have been diagnosed with diabetes Mellitus type 1 six years ago. I remember that day well because it was two days before my eighteenth birthday. Diabetes type 1 is an autoimmune disease which is experienced differently by everyone. I want...
