I'm glad to hear you speak positively of your insulin pump. I've been using an OmniPod for over a year now, and having a pump (pod) has made a huge positive difference in how I manage my diabetes and even more important in how I feel every day. And I'm getting ready to celebrate my 40th year as a person with diabetes!
Best of luck to you.
