"I am 21 and was diagnosed 2.5 years ago when I was 19. I got the Omnipod 6 months later and LOVE it. I did get the Animas because I wanted to see what a tubed pump was like and I did/do like it for certain occasions or when I want to give my…"

David S replied to Danielle's discussion 'Dexcom and Omnipod integration' in the group OmniPod Users"I've learned that I can't wait on the "next big thing" when deciding on a new pump/cgm/etc. Four years ago I was in the market for a new pump.

Dexcom G4 vs Dexcom 7 Plus
So I got my G4 in the mail and was so excited I decided to do a little experiment. It makes me look like a walking robot but who cares :)I put the G4 on my thigh (where it is contraindicated from the Dexcom team) and the 7Plus is on my belly on about day 4-5. Please note, I was getting what it seems to be inaccurate readings on and off when I first inserted the Seven Plus--always seems to be that way and then it becomes more accurate around the time about now (day 4-5).First, that already shows…See More

Helmut replied to Danielle's discussion 'Dexcom and Omnipod integration' in the group OmniPod Users"The podcast answers Danielle's question:
There is no plan to ever integrate the Dexcom receiver functionality into the OmniPod PDM.
Insulet and Dexcom are not cooperating on anything anymore.
Insulet pursues a proprietary sensor which is at…"

Seth replied to Danielle's discussion 'Dexcom and Omnipod integration' in the group OmniPod Users"I am not able to forward the report due to all the legal requirements. I would suggest you google this topic and see what comes up. The news was given by Insulet to Stock analysts last week at the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference."
BarbraW replied to Danielle's discussion 'Dexcom and Omnipod integration' in the group OmniPod Users"Do you have a link to that report? I'd like to read it!"
Black Llama replied to Danielle's discussion 'Dexcom and Omnipod integration' in the group OmniPod Users"I agree, they wouldn't be tweaking the PDM if there was something big coming down the road. From my understanding there is some big hurdle for the FDA to get over with a remote device that functions as both CGM and PDM."

Paige said… Hello Danielle!
I'm using Tudiabetes as a way to connect with fellow young adults with diabetes. I'm a University of South Florida student and president of our chapter of "Students with Diabetes." We're hosting a national conference June 1st - 3rd in Tampa and want to bring in as many Type I diabetics (18 - 30yrs) as possible from across the country.
The conference costs $55 dollars total, but we can't pay for your plane ticket (housing, food, & activities like Busch Gardens are, however, included in the price). Please let me know if you are interested in any of this and/or visit our website for more information!
If you're at all interested in any of this, please reach out. I'm easy to get in contact with. :)

I live in the Portland area, so no, not really near Seattle. I'm off at college right now too though! What year are you? I'm a sophomore.
That's awesome about the camp! I used to go to diabetes camp :) Loved it! Never been a counselor though
I see you have the omnipod! How is that?
