I have gotten into the ocean (that is the number one reason I got the onmipod because it's water-proof) and it stayed on. I don't think you should worry about the pod falling off. :) Every thing will be ok if you are careful. Hi Catherine, I have been on the omnipod for about 5 months.

I find by piercing the potential site just slightly before inserstion I can check to make sure the spot is not too close to a vein. Glad you are enjoying it!

For PWDs who seek the algebraic relationship between BG and A1c results, you can use the following formula: (A1c x 35.6) - 77.3 = equivalent average BG over the period The attached A1c / Blood Glucose chart is a nice touch.

Congrat's on achieving such great control. And hey, having a pump with a tube isn't so bad for most people (although I'd prefer something tubeless but smaller in the future!). But I'm glad you found an option that works for you! I’m glad to hear you are enjoying pumping! Congrat’s on achieving such great control.
