I just got a accu check combo insulin pump 3 weeks ago .. and REALLY everything is much better than before and my blood sugars are much better through the whole day ... I can't wait untill I know how my long time result will be next time ..! Everything is really much better! Now, I am from germany and I do not have to pay for the pump ...but I heard that in the us its kinda difficult with the health fund ?!? do u have to pay for the whole set up etc??
@thehorsefreak2010 It depends on your body type, I don't have much fat so the insertion does hurt me because the needle is longer than the infusion set needle I use. Once it's inserted, it is definitely worth it!
send the minimed back it is the worst pump on the market get the wirelesss much easier to use the answer is THE OMNIPOD minimed is the pain in the but. the omnipod makes life as close to life with out diabetes as it gets. omnipod customer service is a billion times better than minimed. also the omnipod will be available with the sensor in 2 months
I did this video based on my experiences with the Medtronic pump, which is the only one I can speak for because it's the only one I've been on for seven years and have never felt the need to look elsewhere. If you do wear the Omnipod and it works for you, that's great. It's wonderful that we all have options, and we can each choose what we feel is best for us. Thanks for the input. I did this video to educate on pump therapy in general, and hope it did that for viewers.
Hello, i'm currently thinking about transitioning to the pump, and i was wondering how long did it take you to recieve the pump? im also moving and stuff so im just wondering because im moving kind of far lol
Hey, thanks for this video, you did a great job. im currently waiting for a pump in the uk and i was very apprehensive at first but your video helped me alot so thanks :] Ive been diagnosed about 6 years and i currenty have about 6 injections a day and like you said my family thought tht the insulin pump was the best way forward since all of the needles was getting me down and my control wasnt very good. I love yours but i dont think we have those ones in the UK D: oh well, thanks again! x
Hi! You did a great job informing people of your life with the pump. I was diagnsoed with Type 1 a year ago and I am pump shopping right now. I am between the One Touch Ping and the one you have. Either way, my pump will be pink too!
Thank you Leslie! It depends on which company you decide to go with and insurance etc...every case is different. I'd suggest waiting until you get to where you're moving to first so you can get set up there and become familiar with the people who work for the pump company in your new area.

I find this really interesting...how much does the bigger needle hurt compared to the thinner needles?
