Team Type 1 Takes First Place Finish in Race Across America

The OmniPod(R) Insulin Management System Lets Cyclists Focus on Winning in
Record Setting Time

ANNAPOLIS, Md., June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today, Team Type 1 concluded
the 28th Annual Race Across America in record-breaking time, finishing
first-place in the 8-person team category division. In this 3,000 mile
transcontinental cycling competition beginning in Oceanside, CA and ending in
Annapolis, MD, Team Type 1 members were put to the ultimate athletic test
enduring extreme desert temperatures, wind, the threat of thunderstorms, and
rough terrain, all while having to constantly manage their diabetes.

"We are so proud that our team was able to break another Race Across America
record and finish in first place," said Joe Eldridge, co-founder of Team Type
1. "Our team's mission is to show people with diabetes that they can
accomplish anything if they work hard to control their disease. We hope our
team's performance inspires other people to manage their diabetes so they can
achieve their own goals."

Team Type 1 was created in 2004 by Phil Southerland and Joe Eldridge, a pair
of avid cyclists with Type 1 diabetes. In 2006 and 2007, the pair captained
Team Type 1 to back-to-back victories in the eight-person team division of the
Race Across America (RAAM).

In this year's race, six of the eight team members were able to compete
vigorously and control their glucose levels with the OmniPod(R) Insulin
Management System: Jeff Bannink, Beaverton, Ore.; Alex Bowden, St. Charles,
Mo.; Matt Brooks, Pickerington, Ohio; Lonny Knabe, Portland, Ore.; Bob
Schrank, Gurnee, Ill.; Mark Suprenant, Milford, N.H.

"The revolutionary technology of the OmniPod let us focus on competing,"
commented Mark Suprenant, one of the winning TT1 RAAM cyclists. "OmniPod
stood up to all the challenging conditions we faced from California to
Maryland and enabled us to deliver our best performance ever."

The OmniPod System consists of two wireless components: the Pod -- a compact,
lightweight, self-adhesive insulin delivery device that is worn discreetly on
the skin beneath clothing; and the Personal Diabetes Manager -- a wireless,
menu-driven, hand-held device that programs the Pod.

"We congratulate Team Type 1 on yet another inspiring achievement," commented
Duane DeSisto, President and Chief Executive Office of Insulet, manufacturer
of the OmniPod System. "These elite athletes embody our mission to make
diabetes a smaller part of life."

diabetic cyclists during one of the toughest races in the world -- the Race
Across America (RAAM). As the cycling season progresses, the 14-member team of

learning the ropes semi-professional cycling, while the more experienced

top-rung of ultra-endurance competitions, the 3000-mile RAAM is 30% longer
