Dee, that's miserable... but at least now you have the backup PDM as well! (unless they're making you send it back?) Welcome to the podding club!

I just received my Omni Pod. They sent it with the OLD PDM . I complained and they are sending the NEW one. Hopefully, I will start "using" by Friday. I am so glad I found this site...

Hi! I am waiting to get my OmniPod starter set. A bit nervous, am trading my Cozmore in, but have been on needles and vials recently. Any info and advice would be appreciated! Here in MI not to many people know about the OmniPod. Thanks!

Thanks so much.. I appreciate finding a place to go for help and getting it so quickly. Emily Joy, as I have been pouring over this group site I find your "eye" in lots of places :) Seem like you know your stuff!

Here's what you do:

1) "Suspend" your basal program. Choose to suspend it for "0.5 Hours" (don't worry, you can start it up again before the 30 minutes).
2) go to "Settings" -> "Basal Programs" -> and edit your basal.
3) on home menu "Resume" your basal.

Hope that helps!

The light at the end of the test strip woudl be great. Much like on the Freestyle Lite meter! It is so helpful with night time checks. As adults you may not use the night time dark checks very often - but parenting a D kid - I usually check nightly at midnight and 3 am.

My DH will be happy that he can download and see his trends. We are not using the software now b c it is not vista compatible (at least that is what we were told!)

I will have DH call and ask about them with his local rep. That woud be great to upgrade for free!! - Wonder if you can keep the other one as a back up in emergencies!

Matt - that's awesome news! I can't wait for the new PDM to be available... I want it!

Hi everyone,
Great news! I was at the Dr yesterday and they had the new PDM. They are going to start giving them out to new patients in June. They said upgrades will be available after that. They said cost may be around $150.00, but also said that the company will be giving thier office a supply of them to do what they want with them. My pump coordinater said they will probably give me one free. How great is that!. On the pro and con side, the new screen is great and the new software will use a regular USB cable, no longer wireless downloads. Also the new software downloads 90 days , not just the last 4 days as now. There are also tons of new charts and records to print. This is all what I saw with my own eyes no rumors or speculations. I also held the new PDM in my hands and went through the functions. Thats the con for me, I was disappointed in the size, it's not much smaller than the old PDM, just a tad bit thinner, but any improvement is better than none. Also there is a small light that shines on the test strip, for all of us that test BG in the dark, I thought that was a bit foolish.
I hope this helps clear up some of the rumors and confusion about the new pod situation. I manage my care at the Joslin Center, they are great and seem to have the most current info.
Take care everyone.
Matt
