I have not yet heard of a blind person who really likes the Omni pod yet. Hopefully, Veronica will catch this!! Veronica has been my saving grace. I consider Veronica the pump EXPERT!!!  She sends in a lot of posts. Anytime I have a pump question I go to Veronica Elsea.  Help! Murder! Calling Veronica!!!!!  LOL!!!
