Hello every one! I have had juvenille diabeties since for 24 years now, and i'm still taking shots everyday, i'm an active young woman and do now like the tubing used for insulin pumps can anyone tell if they use the OMNI pump and how they like it?
Thank you in advance.

I am not a phycian or a diabetic, but the mom of a diabetic who had been on a pump for 4years now.  I am not sure why you do not like the tubing, but it has never been a problem for my daughter or any other people that I know on pumps.  My daughter wears the pump on her waistband and puts her site goes in her butt, arm or belly.   She has never had any problems with the tubing. And she is able to hide the pump in a pocket or her thigh is wearing something tight.

I have seen the omnnipod, which attaches to your body so you will have something bulky attached to you body. It would make it hard to wear certain clothing and to use different spots on your body.  

To compare pumps go to www.childrenwithdiabetes.com - they have a like on pumps that compares all the different types of pumps.

I am sorry that I could not give you more information.
