Omnipod

Hi :smiley: My name is Amelia and i am 13 years old. I have had diabetes for 10 years. I have had an Animas pump for as long as I can remember. I am getting a new pump and I am deciding between an Omnipod or a t-slim. Does anyone have an Omnipod? What are some complaints you have about it and how do you like the sites for it?

Hey Im 13 too I can’t give you advice on what your looking for sorry, but i would really like to become pen pals btw my name is Rosa, and I am also thinking of getting the Omnipod!

Cool! I would love to be pen pals! I actually ended up getting the dexcom. I thought it would hurt, but it didn’t!

Hi!! I know this is a super late response but I just joined and I’m still figuring it out. I have had the omni pod for 7 years and it is one of the BEST things ever!!! It has really changed my diabetic life. Hope I wasn’t too late :slight_smile:

I also have the Dexcom and it is amazing!! It has brought my A1C down to almost perfect. It does hurt a little bit but I use a numbing cream that works wonders. You just put it on an hour before and you barely feel it! Hope I helped

Hi! My name is Nick and I am also 13 years old. I was diagnosed with T1D when I was 5 and have been wearing the Dexcom for a year now. I really like being able to know what my numbers are without constantly pricking my finger and I don’t find it to hurt when I wear it. Unfortunately, I can’t help with the Omnipod as I don’t have a pump and I am not sure I will ever want one. I guess it’s all a matter of personal preference:)
