[QUOTE="MisterMints, post: 2104192, member: 382507"] Thank you [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER] that's really helpful. I probably should've mentioned in my OP that I'm not really all that fussed between tubes and patches. I've tried out the dummy Omnipod and to be honest, I was surprised at how small it was! Was expecting something closer to a deck of cards. Plus, I already wear Libre+MM and its not much different in size to that. Clothing isn't too much of an issue for me either. I'm just a jeans and T-shirt kind of guy, so other than when I'm running, I rarely wear anything else. And after nearly 24 years of being diabetic, I'm past trying to hide it or be discrete. I'll stick a pump or canula wherever is convenient. However, it is the "permanently attached" bit which is probably going to take some getting used to! I do like the freedom of my NovoPens - all I have to do is change the needle. I don't need to worry about carrying extra supplies around incase of a kink in the tube, or I need a new canula. I don't have to worry about refilling or running out - I just stick a new cartridge in when it's empty, and I do like that aspect of MDI. [/QUOTE]
