Ask Me Anything > Is Arden still liking her omnipod?

My name is Haley i'm 13 years old I have type 1 diabetes found out on June, 3rd 2011. I'm still on injections right now. But I've ordered the omnipod and i should be starting it in a few weeks!(: Just wondering is arden still like her omnipod & if she thinks it hurts? P.S. I love your youtube videos!!!

Hello Haley!

Arden has been using the OmniPod for almost exactly three years and she absolutely loves it! I just asked her for you if it hurts when the pod injects itself and she said, "it doesn't feel much different then getting an insulin injection". Once and a while she says that it stings for a few moments but that doesn't happen very frequently.

When she first began using pods the loud click that they make when inserting would startle her but she got accustom to that fairly quickly. We are of course excited for the day that the new, smaller version of the pod becomes available. It's pretty small now but I've held the new ones and they are very much smaller.

I think you are going to love the freedom that tubeless pumping will bring to your life!

We wish you all the best with your OmniPod and please let me know if you have any questions... I'll do my best to answer them.

Thanks so much for finding Arden's Day!

Best,
Scott
