Numbers were great in all areas. Except......She ordered a GAD65 and a C-Peptide test. She is almost 100% convinced that I have been either misdiagnosed and indeed a type 1 or am LADA. The really…Continue

You all are killing me! Just when I thought I had my choices down to the Ping / Omnipod I start reading this section of the forum, and I am reconsidering going to a pump at all. I understand the old…Continue

Biedronk replied to Devildog's discussion 'My observations and opinions after two months of Podding' in the group OmniPod Users"Devildog, I got to ask, how can you get postprandial 85-95. No problems with hypoglycemia later? What do you eat? R U type 1? I struggle with postprandial hyperglycemia, what is an issue for lots of T1. Symlin helps a bit but 85-95?
Please share"

Also, I just got put on OmniPod and the trainer told me that they are working on a closed-loop/semi-closed loop system like Minimed is, where a CGM will be built into the pod."

Budababe replied to Devildog's discussion 'My observations and opinions after two months of Podding' in the group OmniPod Users"Yes!! I'm on box 2 of the new PODS and aside from a few strip errors (forgot to 'confirm' b/4 I inserted strip and sucked up blood) this is meter error 3. No other problems except for a nickel sized pink spot where the canula inserts…"
Kimberly replied to Devildog's discussion 'My observations and opinions after two months of Podding' in the group OmniPod Users"The biggest reason NASA uses what is considered outdated technology is because it all has to go through flight-certification testing (i.e. vibration testing, rad-testing, etc.) years before actually being flown.

TmoeZ replied to Devildog's discussion 'My observations and opinions after two months of Podding' in the group OmniPod Users"It makes me mad that you got the smaller pods. I've been a customer for almost a year and they gave me the same pods on my last order :("
Eric Rizzo replied to Devildog's discussion 'My observations and opinions after two months of Podding' in the group OmniPod Users"Nice summary, thanks for sharing. Regarding the seeming outdated nature of the PDM, I've also wondered about it. Being a tech professional myself, I strongly suspect it's because of cost. A lot of people complain, "why can't the…"
Scott Wilkins replied to Devildog's discussion 'My observations and opinions after two months of Podding' in the group OmniPod Users"Thanks for a great post. I'm with you 100% on your opinions.

My observations and opinions after two months of Podding
So it has been around two months now that I have been on the pod. I was a new customer, and got the smaller pods but please don't hate me for that! LOL!Some of the basics:Occlusions: 0 Pod failures (any type): 0 Pods ripped off: 0Pods fallen off:0PDM errors: 32 stuck keys1 Meter error (I think it was a a bad strip)It took me and my Doctor about two weeks to dial in my basic basal programs, and get my I/C and ISF right on, and now it is pretty much routine. My goals are a bit more aggressive…See More
