AML posted a discussionMy experience making a T1D fundraising video
Just wanted to share a recent fund raising experience. Used a video as a way to create a more compelling campaign. Have received great responses.There are two stories we can tell. Both are true. One is the story of courage and tenacity. Type one diabetes is a momentous challenge but not a barrier to success and achievement. I tell my daughter she can do whatever she sets her mind to and diabetes is just another factor in her life. The other story is one of risk, sadness, burden and even…See More

AML replied to rosieb's discussion 'OmniPod, yes or no?' in the group OmniPod Users"The thing to remember, is that no pump in the world really knows the actual insulin "on board." It is an educated guess. Some of the tube pumps have a profile that assumes a certain absorbsion of insulin and then suggests a potential IOB.…"

IV Prep Pads now recalled along with alcohol pads
The recall on Smith & Nephew alcohol pads has been extended to some lots of IV Prep pads. See this link for the announcement. http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm246058.htm
MidwestMommy replied to AML's discussion 'A funny thing happened on the way to blood testing' in the group OmniPod Users"Oh man I can so relate! I haven't hit my spouse yet though, LOL."
elaine peterson replied to AML's discussion 'A funny thing happened on the way to blood testing' in the group OmniPod Users"Did your wife do the 2 AM feedings so now you have earned the 2 AM BS checks? I hope you nap on the weekends! Parents taking such great care of their diabetic children are a wonder to me. She's a lucky child."
Janet Ballone replied to AML's discussion 'A funny thing happened on the way to blood testing' in the group OmniPod Users"I like the 3rd one best. lol I wouldn't have been pleased either if my husband was hitting me in the face trying to turn off the alarm."

There are so few laughs among the tears of type one diabetes but I wanted to share a couple of things on the lighter side. Perhaps you have similar experiences?1) On a particularly long night when I was struggling to keep my 14 year old daughter's numbers up (she was sleeping), I fell asleep on her bedroom floor. I awoke to sound of my cell phone ringing. I instinctively grabbed the phone and kept shouting hello! hello! My daughter sat up in bed in a terror from the noise. Then I remembered I…See More
AML replied to rosieb's discussion 'OmniPod, yes or no?' in the group OmniPod Users"Our 2 cents. My now 14 year old daughter has been using the OmniPod for eight months now. Was on MDI before. She was only diagnosed the previous year (Aug 20, 2009 at 4:30pm, but whose keeping track?). She is very happy with the OmniPod and says she…"
Mitchell Boeshart replied to AML's discussion 'Supplement OmniPod with Pen injections' in the group OmniPod Users"This is what I do periodically if I am running low in my pod. I had the Endo give me a script for syringes for unexplained high's and also to bolus when I wanted to extend my insulin until change. This works really well because you don't…"
MaryMary replied to AML's discussion 'OmniPod Correction Calculation Question'"Barb, Just wanted to let you know that what the person said before in the clarification post is correct. The Omnipod does not consider insulin on board except for the portion of it that was a correction dose. It will give you a full correction, even…"
barbraann replied to AML's discussion 'OmniPod Correction Calculation Question'"Things must have changed because I believe it does use IOB and makes that correction. You can find the info at

All OmniPod Users – Survey of New OmniPod Features

This user group has tremendous insight into life with the OmniPod. Our feedback can help Insulet make decisions about new product features.
A previous brainstorming discussion provided a list of features to consider. A smaller pod and integration with CGM are not included as Insulet is already working hard on these. Our next step is to add ranking to the list in order to indentify how important each features is.
