[QUOTE="NinaB73, post: 1446975, member: 170820"] Yes [USER=32394]@catapillar[/USER] I fully intend on reading that book as it comes so highly recommended! I have the next few months to think this through and through my own choice, 'do the research'. I am coming round to the idea of learning it all for myself and the last time I had a pump I didn't know about this forum. Interestingly I have an amazing practice nurse at my surgery that runs the diabetic clinic, she is of course not a DSN, shame as she would make a good one! Her knowledge far outweighs my hospital DSN and she also told me she has another patient whom literally took the pump and went off on his own and used forums and suchlike to sort it out himself. I think she is trying to encourage me to have the confidence to go it alone if need be! To be honest I didn't really have a problem with canulla insersion more about a reaction to the canullas, which is more worrying! Am I right in thinking the Omnipod only has the steel canulla? which is the one I had the most problems with so as you say wouldn't give me many options to go on to should it cause the same problems. I must admit I am probably tempted by the Omnipod because of the lack of tubing but I think realistically I'd rather have a pump that is comfortably situated. I do think however that siting in the abdomen may of caused me problems and should of probably tried elsewhere. Also Omnipod I believe has no CGM compatibility?....
