Hi, there have been quite a few negative posts regarding Omnipod on various forums, including this one so make sure you do your research very carefully.It is the lack of remote.
I like the idea of leaving the pump where it is. Not keen on the idea of un clipping the pump to read the screen or enter carbs. The more I look at the Omnipod, the more I like it. A disposable 3 day pump you don't have to touch and don't need to clip to a strap or disconect when swimming or washing. The lack of tubing is a big bonus to me also.
CGM is becoming more afordable (haven't looked into for a while) but £50pm still a bit much for me.
The Omnipod would be a personal choice but may change my mind between now and April 2015!!!!
I have the Vibe pump and it sits clipped to my pocket and that's where it stays, I don't take it off for bousing . Only time it's not there is at bedtime and when I have a shower. Vibe is 100% waterproof, people have swam the channel wearing them
