DBolding commented on Mathew's group 'OmniPod Users'"I agree!! and shouldnt you test every hour for a good couple after changing pod anyway, to makesure its working ok, and if not sort it before it become a problem anyway?"
DBolding commented on Mathew's group 'OmniPod Users'"I had about 4 pods which alarmed and I was given a free box of 10 pods as an apology so it does happen :-)"
DBolding replied to Erik's discussion 'New PDM/Pod info from Q1 2011 Insulet Corporation Earnings Conference Call' in the group OmniPod Users"Hi Seth
I didnt realise the Transmitter would be a another item to insert, I just assumed it would be part of the new pod, but that makes sense, as you said the reading would be miles off!!
Im in the UK and we have the next gen Navigator, its not…"
DBolding replied to Erik's discussion 'New PDM/Pod info from Q1 2011 Insulet Corporation Earnings Conference Call' in the group OmniPod Users"Just a though about the new pods and PDM which may make me move away from Omnipod!
I currently use a navigator cgms which the chip thingy in the arm works for 5 official days, after the 5 days it is possible to restart the cycle again to save…"
DBolding replied to Gina's discussion 'How do you handle IOB with the pod?' in the group OmniPod Users"lol, thats why I had to post the pictures, to make sure I was going on about the correct thing as I was getting a little confused!
So we in the UK have something you guys want, and you have something we want! the function to download your data to…"
DBolding replied to Gina's discussion 'How do you handle IOB with the pod?' in the group OmniPod Users"I have just tried it to make sure I was correct, and have taken pictures of my screen, so I took my BG and it was 9.9mmol/l then pressed Enter and it asked if I was going to eat, I said NO so it then said no insulin required, I then pressed the ?…"
DBolding replied to Gil DePaula's discussion 'What type of battery does your CGMS transmitter use? Are you happy with it?' in the group Continuous Glucose Monitor Users"I agree with Melissa, I also use the Freestyle Navigator (I actually got it after watching Melissa's video on Youtube, seeing how easy it was to operate) I like the fact that it does not use a rechargeable battery, meaning that the battery will…"

Are you hooked up with one of these new devices? Have you advice to give others that are interested in trying one out? Join the CGM group and share your knowledge.
DBolding replied to Erik's discussion 'New PDM/Pod info from Q1 2011 Insulet Corporation Earnings Conference Call' in the group OmniPod Users"do you think the FB guy is getting confused with the US and the UK? In the conference call it mentioned YPSOMed getting their shipment end of June if everything goes ok. Its easier to get things passed in the UK it seems, lol."
DBolding replied to Erik's discussion 'New PDM/Pod info from Q1 2011 Insulet Corporation Earnings Conference Call' in the group OmniPod Users"It could of been all of that, the weather has been great in the UK, but then I do not know where the pods have been sitting before they reached me ;o\ oh well, lol"
DBolding replied to Gina's discussion 'How do you handle IOB with the pod?' in the group OmniPod Users"It seems that the UK and US pods are different! My PDM uses all IOB when correcting, even if its a meal bolus! If it thinks I have IOB still no matter what type was given it will wont allow me to give a bolus, all I do in this case is when it shows…"
DBolding replied to Erik's discussion 'New PDM/Pod info from Q1 2011 Insulet Corporation Earnings Conference Call' in the group OmniPod Users"They were replaced for free, funny thing is, 5 of them were from one batch, then the other 2 were from the replacements sent, lol. I have had LOADS fail! I do not know if UK ones are made different to US ones? to be honest Omnipod is lucky they are…"
DBolding replied to Erik's discussion 'New PDM/Pod info from Q1 2011 Insulet Corporation Earnings Conference Call' in the group OmniPod Users"Im keeping my fingers crossed the pods are more reliable than the current ones, had 7 failed this month!"
DBolding commented on Mathew's group 'OmniPod Users'"wow! I listened to it on omnipods website but I think I missed the beginning as it said 1 hour long and it lasted about 20 minutes, lol no replay there either.
Im hoping there is no more cost to the consumer! I was also under the understanding that…"

Henry said… - I switched back to my MiniMed pump. I really liked some parts of the OmniPod, but the MiniMed pump proved to be more reliable for me.
Basically, I had problems keeping the pods attached to me. I would take another run at it if the pod was smaller or could be temporarily removed like a tubed pump can (e.g., during exercise).
I don't doubt, however, that the OmniPod is great for some people. Good luck with it!

- Hey I have an extra gel skin thing for an OmniPod. It's white. If you want it, we can arrange a way for me to mail it to you.

Welcome home DBolding!
Take a peek at some the groups when you get a chance. Just go to the top of your page, and click on "Groups". Once in, you can either peruse the wide array of available groups....or simply type a specific interest in the space provided. Take in some of the blogs/discussions as well. The house in the photo is where Dr. Frederick Banting lived and had his medical practice in London, Ontario, Canada...before going to the University of Toronto to work on diabetes research, and ultimately the discovery of Insulin.
