If you aren't familiar with it, it's basically a pump with no tubing. the part you wear on your body holds the insulin, and you control it with a palm pilot-type device (PDM) that talks to the pod using RFID I think.
The PDM is very easy to use--big buttons-- and the screen is very large (larger than most pumps). Judging from the pictures online the PDM looks like a larger screen and font size than the other pumps.
Maybe it's too late now, but something to think about in the future. With the OmniPod it seems like you'd have the best of both worlds--small unit to wear on your body/easily concealable, but larger buttons and display on the device itself that controls insulin delivery. And, they too are coming out in the future with a CGMS sensor that will communicate with the PDM. |
On your advice, I looked up the Omnipod. Unfortunately, it is not available in my area. I will have to stick to the new Animas 2020 "TV" quality screen. Best for me so far, at least until I get my feet wet.
