"I'd like to adapt whichever of you python scripts is used to communicate directly with the device, and I can try to adapt it for the Dexcom and Omnipod (if I understand correctly what you are doing exactly). Maybe you can describe the exact…"

"Elsa, I think you are on the right track. Many of us have similar, if sometimes vaguer, notions about what we want and need, but I see a convergence of views. There are additional publications from Marling's group that make for interesting…"

Mark replied to Mom 2 Kyle's discussion 'WHEN is basal insulin delivered?' in the group OmniPod Users
"You actually have 8 hours AFTER the 3x24 hour expiration alarm to change the pod before it actually does REALLY stop pumping or bolusing, so you have alot more flexibility concerning the response to the three day alarm."

"Have you tried the python library "hachoir"? https://bitbucket.org/haypo/hachoir/wiki/Home It hasn't been too active lately, but it looks promising. There are also links to other binary file analysis projects."

Mark replied to lola's discussion 'Defective Pods with omnipod' in the group OmniPod Users
"There have been reports of quality control issues with some lots of the pods in the past. I actually had a similar experience to you almost 2 years ago. I opened up the pods and found insulin was leaking inside the pod, It appeared to be bad…"

Mark replied to lola's discussion 'Defective Pods with omnipod' in the group OmniPod Users
"A few things may help. First, when you say the pod "fails" after one day with no alarm means that there is not an occlusion. Have you checked for leakage of insulin around the site by sticking you finger near the cannula and sensing if wet…"

Mark replied to smalls's discussion 'Hashimotos no meds ugh' in the group Hypothyroid Diabetics
"Your TSH is low normal, and your T3 and T4 are normal. Did you get tested for antibodies to thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin that truly diagnoses Hashimotos? The fact that you responded to the small dose of Armour (T3 + T4) as HYPERthyroid must…"
