Hi Johnna.  I just switched pumps to an Animas 2020 and I think Gelsey2003 (other poster) has the Animas as well (I recall asking questions about it).  So far I am pleased with it.  It's a bit different from my other one because there are more safety features and such but I think most pumps are based on the same concept. I haven't heard too many good things about that Omni Pod (the one that stays on your site).  I've heard it's bulky and rips off a bit.  I have like an elastic neoprene sport belt I use to wear my pump at night.  I think everyone does what is comfortable for them.  Some just clip it onto their pajamas, they make special pajamas with a built in pocket for them and so on.  I think it's really up to your preference.  No I do not have to enter in carb amounts each time I eat though it is a feature I can use.  You will get a carb ration when you get set up. Mine is 15 grams of carbs per 1 unit of insulin.  I just calculate mentally what I am eating and give insulin accordingly.  I think in time you will get used to that too.  The Animas pump has a bunch of foods built into it so you can scroll through and pick the foods and it shows the carbs. So that's a neat feature if you're unsure about your carb intake.  Just check out the pumps in person and compare features. That way you'll see what suits you better.  Also insurance will only cover some pumps not all. I had the choice of Animas or MiniMed and I chose Animas.  Ok I have to take care of the kids....I'll check in some time soon. I normally only check this while at work so if I don't write back soon that's why...You can also email me at [email protected]
