If you done mind I would like to hear about it. I really only one concern and that is number of Pod failures and interest in adjust to how it manages BOB and IOB.

Thank you for your input,

Still need to do some adjustments on my basal...trainer suggested 3 nite of testing to see where adjusting needs to be done. I received the newer generation PDM and am enjoying it. Am looking for a CDE in the area...closet being at U of M Hospital. Hard to get in to see and set up appt., but I keep plugging away! Really hope everything is good for you!

At 3:21pm on June 12, 2009, Marcia said…: I received my OmniPod today! I am waiting to hear about setting up a training session. Hope your offer of answering questions still holds. Unfortunately I have lost your e-mail and phone number!

At 7:24pm on June 4, 2009, Marcia said…: Linda I received some pictures of what another "podder" carries with them. This person had two meters in her bag besides the one on the PDM...also was on Bernards site and saw several different meters in pictures he has posted. I can see the need for one back up....I may call you...I am on the fence because my Dr. is not familar with the OmniPod. What all comes in the kit? Is it easy to set up? Does the company offer training?

At 7:10pm on June 3, 2009, Mark D said…: Linda thak you for responding to my request for Onmnipod user experience info and taking the time to speak to me today.

You are a great (and generous) person!
You truly helped me today.

At 9:43am on May 31, 2009, Marcia said…: Hi Linda! Thanks for the invite! I am waiting to hear if and when I will receive the OmniPod Starter Set. I am hoping there is someone in the area (South Lyon) or near my Dr.(Saginaw, MI) who can train me on the pod. Things seem to have changed since I last wore a pump....testing 10 times a day? Why so many different meters? Looks like some people have 4 or 5 meters...how do you afford the strips?
Some times I feel like the only person in the world who has Type 1...even at the library where I work we have lots of books on Type 2 and how to control it...not too many on Type 1.
