Gail replied to Jen in CO's discussion 'Drier Climate Podders Having Issues?' in the group OmniPod Users"Hi Jen, I'm in Arizona where it is very dry. I must change my pod every 2 days also. According to my CDE, this is very common as our bodies stop asorbing after 48 hours. I hope this helps. Gail"

Gail replied to David's discussion 'How much training and support did you get when first starting?' in the group OmniPod Users"Hi David,
My CDE trained me very well. I had to write down everything ( my food, carbs,, BG,times etc) and we talked every morning at a set time for 6 weeks! In order to figure out my basals, I had to skip meals and test every 2 hours around the…"
Gail replied to Will P's discussion 'How Much Is The Omnipod Worth To You?' in the group OmniPod Users"I don't know why but the last reply you sent did not give me an option to reply?

Gail replied to Will P's discussion 'How Much Is The Omnipod Worth To You?' in the group OmniPod Users"Cobra is not offered at my company because we are under 10 employees.

elaine peterson said… - Hi Gail.....one being bigger than the other, I have wondered if wearing a pod on the underside of the smaller one....sort of like a "push up accessory," would work! Sounds very discreet, don't you think?

Marie B said… - oh, ok, I'll remember that sometimes you have to go quick. I've had it for 42 years, since 1967. We have quite a few old timers here and a few that were dx'd in the 1940s. I do a lot of welcoming of new members, and yesterday welcomed someone from South Africa dx'd in 1951! It's quite an inspiration to me.

- hi Gail, I didn't get all your message - comment back to me. Just wondering what type of company you work for. My husband's in the food business, and just the other day he said a good CSM is like gold!
