"As long as it's secured properly on your body you should only take it off when the pod expires (3 days). I never take mine off but sometimes relocate it on my body. I usually put it on my abdomen and there it stays no matter what. If you take…"

Janet Ballone replied to garidan's discussion 'Medtronic sues Insulet' in the group OmniPod Users"I don't quite understand this but I hope Insulet doesn't go out of business. I love my OmniPod. And if they are closed down, what do WE do?"
Janet Ballone replied to KevinS's discussion 'Is Insulet ever coming out with a smaller pod and Dexcom integration?' in the group OmniPod Users"I heard that also so I'm waiting patiently because I don't want to use any other pump."

Janet Ballone replied to suz's discussion 'Leaving OmniPod Need advise.' in the group OmniPod Users"I'll be 65 in two years and I have the same concerns. I'll never be able to afford OmniPod without covered insurance. I guess everyone who reaches 65 has to go back on the needle. Doesn't make sense."
Timothy replied to Janet Ballone's discussion 'Diabetes resulting from Pancreatitis'"Well then it looks like your pancreas is still producing those 2 hormones and it is islet cell destruction that is the main trouble, just like most of us. I know many Diabetics that have their Amyl and Lipase decrease over time. Mine are totally…"
laugesen replied to Janet Ballone's discussion 'Diabetes resulting from Pancreatitis'"No, my amylase is fine (44, within the reference range of 27-110). My lipase is low (4 with a reference range of 13-80). However, my Lipase was 17 in 2009. I had an insulin test a few years ago and it was fine as well. So, all the more perplexing…"
Janet Ballone replied to MeganB's discussion 'Help! Bloody canulas and high bg!' in the group OmniPod Users"That happens to me sometimes but it doesn't affect the insulin delivery. Have you tried your leg or back of your upper arm?"
laugesen replied to Janet Ballone's discussion 'Diabetes resulting from Pancreatitis'"My story is somewhat a strange one. Just over 6 years ago I was diagnosed with Auto-Immune Pancreatitis (AIP). For those of you unfamiliar with this, it is a relatively rare auto-immune condition where ones own body attacks the pancreas. After…"

Hello! Thank you for having me as a friend Janet :)
New Jersey...far, and yet right here! That's one of the appealing factors of tu.diabetes. I'm in Canada...in the southwestern part of the province of Ontario...a city named Kitchener-Waterloo (2 cities joined together). I'm a wife of 33 years, mom to two grown children, a grandma to 3 lovable little boys, a teacher, and before that an illustrator and graphic designer....I speak French and English, I read, history fascinates me, I paint, sing, walk, garden, ski, ride my bike....did I mention "read"? I love having friends over, I bake/cook, am an eclectic music lover, an animal lover...the ocean...ah the ocean...it speaks to me! Oh...and I have diabetes (and a few other things).
Keep in touch, ok?
luv....linda
