Well, that’s it, I’m turning in my Omnipod. No more pumps for me, just too dangerous. Won’t get in a car anymore either. Or use the stove. Or use knives. Or get in the tub. And those stairs, boy oh boy, I guess I’m stuck inside my apartment for the rest of my life – which won’t be very long with so many dangers everywhere.
