Actually Getting the New Pods!
Like I'm sure everyone else is, I am VERY stoked about the new pods finally being approved and ready to arrive! Now I have a few questions about what other people are doing at this point.
- Have you called your distributor and asked them what the deal is? I haven't done this yet, but I plan on it.
- If so, how does it work? I'm about to finish my last box, and I'd rather not wait until April to get the new pods. Someone on here mentioned having them ship a month at a time - maybe this is a good option.
- I don't remember ever giving my email address to Insulet, and they said they would send out an email with details about transitioning when the time is right. I'm not totally sure I'll actually be receiving this email, but in any case... has anyone talked to Insulet about how it'll work? Their info is (understandably, but annoyingly) kind of vague at this point.
Woo!

I have spoke to Insulet several times and the current date is late February/early March. I plan on going box to box with the pods until they are ready!
I am actually excited that the new PDMs will be able to be further away from the pod to deliver insulin (it is my son who is diabetic) AND that the canula is going to be colored (pink, I think).
You should definitely call Omnipod and give them your email as they told me that was how they would let me know about the new pods. -

Canula is blu, there is a pink square under the shell that signs if the insertion spring has pushed the canula underskin.
