[QUOTE="azure, post: 1077888, member: 39639"] Whatever pump you go for (if you decide to go for one), the sets are the key thing. I chose my pump as much on the sets that you can get for it as the pump itself. I'm not sure what choice you'd get if you had an Omnipod, but I found the sets Animas tried to get me to use with my Vibe weren't the best for me. So I chose my own. It's also important where you put the sets. The only time I've had bruises was with my first pump when I used my tummy. Niw I use my thighs and bum and have never had a bruise using them. I'm slim too, so I think that makes a difference. Diabetes can be depressing because it's there all day every day, but don't let it steal your enjoyment of life. I try to keep it in a box - control it and think about it when I need to, but not ponder over it or let it stress me. Think about all the good things in your life and don't dwell on the diabetes. And you're not alone here :) There are lots of great people here who can help and support you :) [/QUOTE]
