OmniPod Users
Information
This group is dedicated to giving OmniPod users a place to discuss and share our experiences so that we may grow and help each other "make diabetes a smaller part of our lives."
Please note: the exchange, sale or giveaway of items between members that require a prescription from a licensed practitioner, including insulin pumps and pump supplies, is not allowed on TuDiabetes.
We encourage you to donate supplies to non-profits such as the Charles Ray III Diabetes Association and Insulin for Life, which accept insulin pumps and pump supplies (as well as other diabetes-related prescription items).
You can also approach your physician's office or local medical groups to discuss donating them to those in need of assistance in your area.

Alexia-
If you do your homeowrk you may be able to get out of there earlier...I did mine in two meetings, both scheduled for 3 hours each, but wound up spending significantly less time in the office because I had read up and knew everythihng there was to know about the pod.
GOOD LUCK!
( I remember on my first day I went carb-crazy...It was so nice to eat whatever I wanted without shots!)
