| I was concerned about ripping out infusion sets, and resisted going on the pump at first. I'm not that active, I am just a real klutz!
I decided to try the Omnipod because it has no tubing. In other words, nothing to catch on and rip out. I have only ripped it off once, (I think I ran into a table really hard...or was it when I dropped that twenty pound box on my stomach? anyway....) The really nice thing is, if I do rip it out, bang it up, smack into something, or totally wipe out.....I am only out the cost of the disposable "infusion set"...the expensive part is safely tucked away in a padded case in a pocket or my purse.
And, if I REALLY REALLY wipe out, the remote control unit is only $700 to replace, as opposed to $7,000. (the first one is $1,000, a second one is $700)
