OMNIPOD 5 INSERTION PROCESS: So easy, even a toddler can't stop me!

- One of the hardest things about changing an insulin pump site for me is finding a way to do so while keeping my young children busy! I've found that one of the best things about the Omnipod 5 is it is so easy to insert! So easy, I often do mine sitting in bed while entertaining my toddler (I'm very careful with the sharps). With other pumps, I'd have to sit at the table while the tubing fills (this can actually take quite a bit of time) and my young kids would fuss and cry for me.
I hope this video proves to you how easy it is whether you just got your first Omnipod 5 or you are interested in one. This is not the current pump I use, but this easy process and the fact that it is tubeless makes it a great option for many diabetics!!

Just wondering do you ever lay on the pod in your sleep and if yes, does it hurt or cause any occlusion problems? Just wondering (hoping to switch to Omnipod later this year) whether I have to avoid certain areas because of the side I sleep on etc. Thanks so much for your videos 😊
Hi! I almost always insert my Omnipods on the front of my body and I love to sleep on my stomach, so I do lay on the pods quite often. The only time it bothers me, is if I get a bad site and I feel pain right after the insertion. The site stays sore the whole three days and laying on it just makes it worse. This only happens about once every four months or so. Any other time, I can’t tell I’m laying on it at all. These sore sites happen with all pumps for me, not just Omnipod.
I’ve never had any occlusion issues that I’m aware of.
You’re welcome! Thank you for your support ❤️

So cute - love the kwazi stuffed animal 🥰
Thank you! That was my daughter’s favorite stuffy for a bit.
@@JillianBoileau it’s adorable. I love how they go through phases with their stuffed animals! Octonauts was a favorite show for my oldest for so long! He learned a ton about creatures… kwazi was always my favorite ❤️
