Congrats on picking the pods as your pump! Hope you like them!
There is a pod recycling program...it is for used pods though. So after you wear them, you save them, and then if you sign up for the recycling program, a pack (which is a bag…"
Budababe replied to Kelsie's discussion 'Will the new pods be compatible with the old PDM?' in the group OmniPod Users"I'm on my 2nd day as a pod user (or any pump) and have read a lot: I think there is a recycle program on the Omnipod site: they send a bag and you fill it with old pods and they recycle them :)"
ENDSwME replied to Kelsie's discussion 'Will the new pods be compatible with the old PDM?' in the group OmniPod Users"I think insulet is waiting until they get low on their supply of the old pods before they upgrade any of us."
Kelsie replied to Kelsie's discussion 'Will the new pods be compatible with the old PDM?' in the group OmniPod Users"Thank you! I don't know why I didn't think it was very clear on their website, but I'm glad someone understands things better than I did :)"
Kelsie replied to Kelsie's discussion 'Will the new pods be compatible with the old PDM?' in the group OmniPod Users"That's probably what I'll end up doing! I might be switching insurances soon and I'm always a little paranoid about that...
Thanks for clearing it up! :)"
Helmut replied to Kelsie's discussion 'Will the new pods be compatible with the old PDM?' in the group OmniPod Users"Old pods only work with old PDMs. New pods only work with new PDMs."
Bradford replied to Kelsie's discussion 'Will the new pods be compatible with the old PDM?' in the group OmniPod Users"No it won't...that's why they won't ship new pods to you until they also ship a new PDM at the same time. So if you want to continue using up your old stock, you'll have to keep using the current PDM.
Some people have mentioned…"

This semester has been a crazy one. I got my own (school owned and regulated) apartment and started off the semester making delicious and semi-healthy homemade meals. My blood sugars were alright and my best friend and now roommate tried to convince me that I needed to eat less Blizzards and McDonalds and more vegetable. (And for the record, I love fresh veggies and hate McDonald's). We actually got into quite a few heated arguments over my eating habits. I think I resented her for trying to…

My blood sugar was 59 at lunch today. Aside from a splitting headache that I attributed to working, I felt fine. After lunch, it was 350 (I guess I overcorrected for the low). The headache got worse and I thought I was going to die from thirst, so normal symptoms there. I did a small correction, and then a few hours later, it was 63... and I still didn't feel it!
I'm so freaked out because I normally feel my lows happening. I do not want to have hypo unawareness (is that…

I still don't understand why it's so complicated to get the Omnipod for me. It's crazy how many different people we've had to call, and all of them saying something different. "We don't offer it...we don't contract with them...we do offer it...oh, wait, nevermind..."
But hours of phone calls and being put on hold later, it looks like all the effort that my dad & I have put into this has paid off.
My dad finally found out that our…

I e-mailed my new doctor today about getting an Omnipod. She replied and told me she sent the request to referrals (?) to get it approved.
Is it really that easy?
I sure hope so!
I really hope everything else works smoothly, but anyway, I just wanted to share that happy little piece of information!

I am about to start my first job... ever. I'm 18 years old and have always been unemployed, except for the occasional baby-sitting gig, and then there's all that unpaid volunteer work I've done... ;)
Anyway, does anyone have any tips for me, diabetes-wise? (Or really, any advice you have would be helpful!)
I start in a couple weeks, if all goes according to plan... I'll be working in a grocery store bakery, so it's one of those…
