Omnipod for diabetes?

i have type 1 diabetes. and i have been doing shots, i am considering getting a pump. But i have just a few problems. i never liked the idea of being attached to a machine, and i feel like that the tubing would get ripped off. So i have been looking at the Omnipod, which i think is perfect for me. But i have read a lot of reviews and most of them aren't that good. a lot of complaints have been made that the adhesive comes off easily. and the pods fail. but regardless i am still interested. mainly because when ever i do injections they hurt so much. i am really skinny, and don't have a lot of body fat. but another down side to the omnipod which i don't like is the size. when i go swimming or something, it would make me feel self conscious if people would be looking at it or whatever. and the 1 reason i like injections, is because i don't have anything attached to me, and i feel normal. with any pump i wouldn't feel that way. I am in high school, and i am trying to make my diabetes go very smoothly. the last couple years in school have been awful, diabetes wise.because of all the time i have to leave class. i would like to know your experiences with the omnipod, or any insulin pump, which would you recommend?

and how can i get medicare?

i wont be getting any meter until i get health insurance or medicare. my family is self pay. we have been denied medicare, and every insurance company that gives us a quote they say a couple hundred a month or something. then we tell them i am a diabetic, and the quote jumps up to $2000 a month. just for me. that doesn't even cover my family. and my family cant afford it.
