A few days ago we went to an OmniPod informational meeting at Leo's Place. Among eating pizza and playing arcade games, each of us got to wear a demo OmniPod pump. The girls and I wore fake ones, but Dustin wore a real one that had been filled with saline. The insertion is super easy that Dustin said felt like a "light tap". The girls and I also slept with them that night, and it didn't come off when I showered the following morning.
I really like the wireless and tubeless features, but alas, insurance won't pay for it at this time. Lainey had her heart set on getting a new pump, and when I told her we couldn't pay for it she began to cry. It broke my heart! I had a "I hate diabetes" moment, but we won't give up. Lainey will get the pump she wants one day.

I love that you ALL got to try one! Sorry that you are having troubles with your insurance. Our insurance "denied" us the first time the paperwork went through, she said you can appeal. I demanded all of the paperwork be faxed to me that day, and it turned out that they had listed Ally as T2 thus the denial. I called them back and they overturned their decision in minutes! Praying that you will get an approval soon.
Insurance can be such a pain! I don't get it.
I'm so sorry to hear that. What a precious photo!
oh ugh! the love/ hate relationship with insurance...
