[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2054417, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=78361]@Becca6510[/USER], you must be iver the moon to have finally been granted a pump. Now the next hurdle is choice !! I have a tubey pump made by Tandem, which can be linked to DEXCOM cgm and later this year in Oz will be linked to a loop function. My point about your choices is that as mentioned by [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER], you have to remember not only the patch of the Omnipod but also to carry the PDM. I am guessing it woukd like caryying two mobile phone size packets with you when out ( mobile phone plus PDM.) Effectively you swop a larger one-in-all pump plus tube/cannula plus mobile phone for a smaller patch reservoir on skin but having to find room on one's person, or with a bag/belt attachment or whatever for two rather than one mobile phone size packages. I am be incorrect with the sizs of mobile phone vs PDM, but it woukd be interesting to hear how Omnipod wearers deal with this, including remembering to always carry their PDM with them, and not lose it !! Best Wishes on whatever you chose. PS i believe Medtronic pump is waterproof, as is the Omnipod patch, not sure if the PDM is though. [/QUOTE]
