[QUOTE="Omnipod, post: 462174, member: 89494"] JaneC, its funny that you have issues and say they are not resolved. I started with the new smaller pods and to date.... been through 6 boxes and have never had a single fail. #touchwood Today on the Omnipod facebook pages, there was a picture of a girl wearing the pod on her back just above her shoulder blade. Another was wearing it on his calf. Seems like you could wear it anywhere on the body. I found that with a tubed pump, because of the tubing, you could only wear it on the abdomen or lumbar region on the back. Over time I had so much scar tissue because the cannulas on the Medtronic were so long. After going back to MDI, the scaring took at least a year to go away. Now with the Omnipod, the cannula is so small. It self inserts and feels like a finger prick. The Omnopiod is better in EVERY way. Im hoping that Omnipod start taking all the business so that companies like Medtronic and Accu Check are forced into designing new tubeless systems which should become better and cheaper and available for every diabetic on MDI. My HBA1C has dropped from 11% to 8.1% which is fantastic. Hoping to be 7% in April. [/QUOTE]
