Diabetes and Insulin Pumps

What is the best insulim pump for your money? I currently have the Medtronic Minimed 715. I have been researching about the omnipod. Does anyone know if it is reliable since it has no tubing involved?

Hello. I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes. She is on the Medtronic 522 pump. Basically all pumps are in about the same price range and provide the same functionality. I know lots of people on the Omnipod, and they like it. It is very reliable, the biggest downside is that it is bulky. If you've ever heard of Team Type 1 (http://www.teamtype1.org/), they all wear the Omnipod.
Basically it comes down to personal preference and what features you like on the pump.
