I love my insulin pump! I always refer to it as the Cadillac of insulin pumps. About five years ago I made the decision that it would be better for my health to start using an insulin pump. I have mentioned before if my blood sugars are high I am more prone to getting an infection. If I have an infection it causes my blood sugar to be elevated. A never ending cycle. It was time to get in control of my diabetes. I started doing some investigating online to pick a pump I would like to have when I came across the OmniPod Insulin Pump. It is wireless and waterproof! The other nice option is unlike the typical insulin pump you are limited to using your belly for insertion, with the OmniPod I can place it anywhere I can give an injection. Leg, arm, back, belly, or even my fanny! It is completely waterproof so I don’t have to do anything when I shower, I can even swim with it. It has made a major difference in my health.

One of the reasons I held off getting a pump for so long was I didn’t want another tube hanging from my body. I often have to do I.V. medication and I always wear my oxygen tubing, I didn’t want to add another. With the OmniPod I no longer have to carry insulin and needles with me at all times. Here is a video I made showing how easy it is. You can learn more on the OmniPod website included in the link above.
