I'm sorry to hear that - I don't hear of very many type 3 cases, I imagine that must be an awful surprise to get alongside everything else. I've been using the Omnipod for around 5 years now, I believe, although, I have in fact got an upgrade to the pump in the pipeline (hopefully).

Type 3, I have never heard of this please explain to me cause i am bewoldered now, never knew there was a type 3, I have been type 1 for 43 years and never known a type 3, whats the difference then
