Erik replied to Lori's discussion 'How many vials of insulin in a month?' in the group OmniPod Users"I always ask my endo for insulin samples when I go in. Just a tip to offset your out of pocket for the visit. They usually give me a couple vials. :)"
Rich1960 replied to Lori's discussion 'How many vials of insulin in a month?' in the group OmniPod Users"175 units and my 1600 calorie a day diet would put me into continuous insulin shock. Unless you SERIOUSLY over eat constantly, 175 units a day sounds way excessive."
Dad & Daughter Team replied to Lori's discussion 'How many vials of insulin in a month?' in the group OmniPod Users"Hello, I have been on mm pumps for 11yrs and have been type I for 34 yrs. I go through 6 vials a month around 175 units a day. My daughter who is 9 and diagnosised at age 6 just started omnipod uses about 125 units every 3 days. Talking about drug…"
"GOOGLE 'free apidra insulin'. They have some program where they are gving away their insulin until April 2012. Not sure why or exactly how it works. I started a new discussion to get more info. I am getting a pod soon, my first pump after…"
Rich1960 replied to Lori's discussion 'How many vials of insulin in a month?' in the group OmniPod Users"I use 1 vial of lantus and 3/4 vial of novolog a month. I eat sensibly and am fairly active so that cuts back on the insulin dosage required. The last time I checked Lantus was $100 a vial and novolog was the same. Amazing how the rest of the world…"
Lori replied to A. Barney's discussion 'Contact Lenses'"I like Acuvue Oasis with Hydroclear Plus. They are 2 week disposable lenses. I like them better than other brands that I have tried because they are simply the most comfortable lens in my opinion. They stay hydrated well and I don't even feel…"
Lori replied to Josh Winters's discussion 'Nick Names' in the group OmniPod Users"I call the pod my bionic pancreas"
Steve D replied to Lori's discussion 'Extremely frustrated with Omnipod' in the group Omnipod Users"Oh, god, sorry bro! Where were you? Was it in the middle of the night? (always more disconcerting, when you wake and have no idea who or where you are...and who are all these people?) I also get a little angry when I am below 30...and tear off my…"
FHS replied to Lori's discussion 'Extremely frustrated with Omnipod' in the group Omnipod Users"Wow, sorry to hear that Pete. =/
Glad you are ok."
SF Pete replied to Lori's discussion 'Extremely frustrated with Omnipod' in the group Omnipod Users"Well, I need to revise my statement about never losing consciousness and needing EMT assistance. On Sunday I got me a visit from the EMTs and a ride to the hospital. My BG was 25. I knew I shouldn't have said "I've never lost…"
FHS replied to Lori's discussion 'Extremely frustrated with Omnipod' in the group Omnipod Users"Wow, that's really cool and good to know!"
FHS replied to Lori's discussion 'Extremely frustrated with Omnipod' in the group Omnipod Users"Oo, haven't checked back here in a few days but thank you Schmutz and Christine for the info!
I'm sooo ready to start the pod Schmutz. I should hear back this week from my insurance company. Thanks for the help!"
Kim replied to Lori's discussion 'Extremely frustrated with Omnipod' in the group Omnipod Users"I had the same problem you did. They ended up replacing my PDM and my pods that had occluded. Since they replaced my PDM my sugar levels have gone down a lot. I had only had my PDM for less than 90 days."
peruvianpasohi replied to Lori's discussion 'Extremely frustrated with Omnipod' in the group Omnipod Users"The unit needs a minimum of 80 units. If that is still too much, you can get the saline solution to mix your U100 down, but of course, you will need to remember to "dose" at 2x the rate it shows, if you are mixing 1:1 saline to insulin.…"
