Any Podders out there? What does it feel like when the Pod in delivering insulin. Does it feel like someone is tapping you? | |

Whoops! I just posted a reply in the wrong spot! Sorry! Just confirmed with Caleb that he doesn't feel the bolusing. Not even the click from the pulses when it delivers (and the clicks are very quiet). The only time he said he feels anything from a bolus is when he gets a large bolus immediately after a Pod change - he says it stings a little. I'm guessing that is more because it is a new site and less to do with the fact that he uses the OmniPod. | |

Agreed, I feel absolutely nothing!!! I use to sometimes feel a bolus on tradional tubing pumps but never feel anything on the omnipod! | |

I've been on the OmniPod for almost 4 years. The vaste majority of the time I feel absolutely nothing. Once in a while a little stinging (very little). Usually I can't even tell where the Pod is unless I use my hands to feel around and find it. For me switching from a MM tubed pump to the OmniPod was the best decision I ever made in 54 years of being a Type 1 | |

I haven't felt a thing from a bolus. But I do hear the beep. Sometimes that's anoying. | |
