Omnipod Update

It's been 5 days now since our daughter first got her omnipod. And I have to say it's amazing! Her blood tests results have improved phenomenally and not having to inject any more is wonderful. On Sunday we changed the pod (which lasts for 3 days). This was a simple process. We had a slight mishap on Monday when she climbed a tree in a nearby park and manage to knock the pod off, but she came home and we put on a new one. I was surprised it came off as the rep had assured us people play all sorts of sports including rugby and they normally stay put! This did remind me of the importance of the need to carry a spare pod and insulin if we ever go any distace away from home. But after 8 years we are used to carrying all sorts of diabetes management kit around, so that's not really an issue. Apart from that one incident it's going well so far and our daughter has adapted well to the new system and is confident in using it herself with supervision. Result!
