Yeah they are probably different. The Omnipod doesn't actually offer the gluclose monitoring, it is a third party company. I think they are called Glucaxon or something like that. It works with your phone, the sensors are a 100 bucks a piece and you change them once a week. They communicate with a phone app to give you your readings and you can set alarms to warn you of low or high blood sugars which I thought would be really good for small children and myself when driving long distances without anyone else with me but the cost is too much. The only issue I could see with the system was that you had to recalibrate it once or twice a day which requires regular blood tests so you would still have the strip cost. Their getting there but it would be nice if they would just let us have the cure instead of selling us the band-aides.
Knock on wood but I haven't had any real problems since the they released the new series of pods and this thing is cheap to start with without insurance. I put the pods or injection site all over my body... arms, legs, small of back, stomach, heck I've tried it on my chest which wasn't comfortable but it worked... Omnipod says don't do that though...
