Brooklyn replied to Stacey's discussion 'Current Podders Using a Distributor Other Than Insulet' in the group OmniPod Users"As another Edgepark user, thank you for the information. My husband is getting ready to order his next batch and we were hoping for the new ones as well. He got both the pods and PDM from Edgepark in December, though."

Brooklyn replied to Brooklyn's discussion 'Extended Bolus Set-up' in the group OmniPod Users"Apparently extended boluses were turned off on his PDM- so that's why we never noticed it. It isn't an option until you go into your settings and enable it. Just in case others might have the same issue."

Brooklyn added a discussion to the group OmniPod Users
Extended Bolus Set-up
Hi, quick question. My husband started on Omnipod just shy of a month ago (we love it!) and at our last meeting with the rep, she talked about the extended (dual-wave, or square-wave, etc) bolus options available. We got side-tracked, though, and she never did actually show us how to set one up. I tried looking in the archives here, but haven't found the actual steps, and couldn't figure it out on the PDM. Please help!See More
