shoshana27 - see if you can get a trial pod, the smaller version. that might help with your decision. all pumps have issues. the concept of tubeless is great, for some, it just doesn't seem to work. there's only on cannula, 9mm which I think goes in an angle. no other choices.

My PDM - freestyle meter is way off too from every other meter I use as well as off from my Dex CGM. Since starting on POD, I've had a communication error, pad pod, allergy adhesive and another bad pod in the matter of a few weeks. I've taken the pod off, back on MDI...trying to figure out what to do, Revel or stay on POD. For some reason, I don't feel 'safe' with this thing on. I got out of my car the other day and twice I nearly knocked it right off, had to replace that one too cause my numbers went up and I didn't know if I knocked the cannula around/out. IDK about this. The concept is great, but...????

I haven't had any problems with my pod. I imagine if you go to the minimd pages they have issues too?! Don't they all have occlusions, kinks, off failures? I love the pod and only if forced would I move to a tubed pump.

after reading all the problems some of you are having with the omnipod & pdm i'll stay with my medtronic minimed 522
it does what i need it to do.

Doesn't your Dr. do a comparison of either or both your meter and pdm at the office? Mine does at every visit. I would calibrate both using your solution and even if you have to make a special trip, I would go to your Dr. and have them do a blood draw and compare them.

My pdm and freestyle meter are off by at least 50pts, a big difference. My endo told me just follow my bg's with my dexcom! Really???? can you be that stupid? The Insulet educator told me I needed to calibrate my pdm with the test strip solution. Who is training these people?

Thanks, Erik. It's very interesting. But, ugh! September? Better place a reorder...
