If you put a activated a pod on Monday then you would change it 72 hours later on Thursday.

The PDM will tell you when the pod expires. It will last for a maximum time of 80 hours from the time that it is activated and will automatically deactivate itself when 80 hours is up. At 72 hours you will receive a warning that it's time to change pod. Unless the pod runs out of insulin it will last 3 days. My current pod will expire at 5:59 AM tomorrow morning. I put a little less insulin than I usually do so it will run out before then and I will change it tonight so that I don't have to try to change it at 6 in the morning.

I started my OmniPod on Sept 1st so yesterday was 1 month. I love it. Going to ask my endo about the DexCom when I see her in December. I'm pretty sure I'll love that too.

I always use the omni to the full 80 hrs. After that it ends and you have to change it.

Once you start on the Dex, you will wonder how you lived without it. The omni and dex together are an unbeatable combo.

Good luck!
