In the summer of 2012, Katrina Elisabeth Diel was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and eight months later, she started using the OmniPod insulin pump, made by Bedford, Mass.-based Insulet. But she never liked how the device looked.
?It didn?t look that nice to me,? said the 10-year-old Barrington, R.I., girl about the device, which is typically worn on the upper arm. ?You could see the electrical and computer parts. And it looked like a bandage.?
With the help of her father Fred, Diel recently launched a business called Kedz Covers to sell plastic covers for the OmniPod device in red, blue, beige or green.
