I was referring to the release in Europe, where they've already received EU/CE approval for sale, as far as…"
Gil DePaula commented on Katsz's group 'Momnipods and Popnipods!'"Hi Natasha, you're right if people really throw it away after 30 days. Do people still throw it away when they keep the vial in the fridge?"

Steve D said… - Actually I have given up on the pod....way too many problems for me, and Insulet is unwilling to help. I admit they will send me anew pod evrery time I have a problem, but I have had too many to count and I am tired of calling. thanks for the info on the 'Ping' which is the pump I am training on tomorrow. I will keep you posted.
