    From the dad of a T1D 5 year old, thank you. Your videos are awesome. I know you're not a fan of the pod design, and I also know the tslim pump you wear is technologically superior to the omnipod in a lot of ways. That said, I dont have to wear one. My 5 Y.O. on the other hand wants a pump. Watching your videos among others, has helped him settle on the omnipod. He just can't get past dealing with a tube. He doesn't mind the MDI, so if it was either a tube or stay on MDI he would choose MDI. Thank you again for your awesome channel, and for all you do for the community. We can't wait to see how the 3 days wearing the omnipod went!

    Pro tip. It normally always clicks about five or six times so just count down from six

    My older daughter was just diagnosed 2/26, and our insurance is going to cover the Omnipod vs the t:slim. This video was so helpful to give us an idea of what we’re in for, thank you for making it!

    Thank you for showing how to insert the Dash pod. I've been using the Tandem X2 for almost 4 years now, which is my first insulin pump ever, after 39 years on MDI. But I am planning to switch to the new Omnipod 5, and my training session is this week. All the info I have seen up until now, did not show the underside of the pod. So your video has helped me know better what to expect. I have read that the Dash and 5 pods are very similar. That is even though the pods and pdms are not interchangeable.

      I have the freestyle libre 2 and the old Omnipod, and apparently according to my local pharmacist, the app for the libre 2 comes out before the end of the month and the Omnipod dash app can link up to the pod and the libre 2 to manage them at the same time apparently

    Many years ago I spoke to a diabetic educator who used a pump and to me it seemed like a lot to do so she said how about insulin pens. I have been using pens ever since and I take five shots a day now between Lantus and Humalog. When I visit my doctor next week I will try and get a prescription for a Dexcom g6 and see if with my insurance it’s affordable. Thank you for all you do to help educate us out here in youtube land.

    I was on the Omnipod for 6 months. I switched to tslim x2. Personally I had the dreaded click. It can be painful depending on where it is. The autosoft 90 don’t even bother me.
    Im hoping that the new omnipod system is similar to how tandem has merged the dexcom info on it to shut down when your too low. That has to be the best feature for me since I seem to get a lot of quick drop lows. The other thing that makes me comfortable with tslim is the fact its attached so the meter wakes me up at night when im too high. My dexcom on my phone or the receiver never was able too.

    Personally, what I feel is the most ideal about Omnipod Dash (don't know about its predecessor) and the Dexcom CGM is they realized that it need only be subcutaneous; not deep in there. (For those who have noticed the depth difference in the insertions.)

    I would love an update about your thoughts on the T-slim sometime. My son is HATING the 670 G pump so we are looking for a different pump system. I am afraid of picking the next one and being equally as disappointed. I wish we had the option of try before buy like you did. From what I am reading the filling of reservoirs on the T-slim seem very different too. That would be a good video too. :)

I have had issues with some of the adhesives, so I am wondering (& looking forward to seeing your response).

    • @worthybookjourney3231

      We have used MiniMed for 18 years. But we are becoming increasingly disappointed with them. The quality of tape and sights and reservoirs seems to be lessening. Our experience with the 670G has been a nightmare. Their reps have been FAR LESS than helpful with the 670G too. They just blame us and tell us we are the only ones having any problems. If you look online, there is a whole community of people that are having the same EXACT issues that we are.
