Hi Laura, welcome to our community! I have used a Minimed pump for almost 4 years. I think there a couple of Omnipod users here, I hope they will reply.
I have been type 1 for 65 years, and am doing quite well. Your pump should enable you to have good control, but it takes a lot of time and patience to get everything going the way you want it. The book "Pumping Insulin" by John Walsh helped ma a lot. I bought my copy from amazon.com.
Good luck with your pump!
