    Those who tried Pods and Regular Pumps, which do you prefer?

    I am currently on MDI, and testing out the Omnipod Dash Pod Experience Kit as I am interested in going off of MDI as it would be best for me, I would say. Two negatives of the Omnipod Dash is that it isn't a closed loop hybrid system and you are required to hold a PDM, rather than an app...
