Does anyone use the Omnipod insulin pump?  I have read great reviews about it.  If so what do you most like about it and why?  The Medronic seems very popular also.  Not sure which my son should go for.  Any recommendations would be most helpful.  Like the idea of no tubing with the Omnipod.

It is ok reading reviews and asking other peoples opinions, but your son will be wearing it, so his opinion might be different, he is the person to decide which is the best and most comfortable to wear.

I have seen on Diabetes web sites where people have made decisions, they say they have made the wrong decision, even gone back to their old methods.
