Five weeks of Omnipod

I'm a bit behind with my posts. It didn't really take me 3 months to wear the Omnipod for 5 weeks. I wore it continuously for 5 weeks beginning in June. I got it through airport security without any problems. The Pod did not set off the metal detector alarm. I did find that the surface area used by the pod limited positioning of the pod. It was uncomfortable to lie on it and I found myself limited in sleeping positions as a result. So I'm back on my Minimed 522. In spite of my personal reluctance to continue on the Omnipod, I would absolutely be using it if my only alternative is multiple daily injections. Rumor has it from a company employee that the 2010 Omnipod is going to be 40% smaller. I can't wait to try it.
