"That's exactly what I used some for. Also came in useful for one of my god son's handheld games. Not sure his mum appreciated it though; noisy game and I think she'd been praying it'd go flat since Christmas day!"

Pete Shaw replied to RobAW's discussion 'Where have you found a use for the used Pod batteries?' in the group OmniPod UsersPete Shaw replied to Sophia'smommyLori's discussion 'Tagging BG on PDM' in the group OmniPod Users"Perhaps a bit more time consuming but I log all my BG, CHO, insulin and activity data on a spreadsheet app on my iPad or iPhone. Best use yet for the 'forms' function in Apple Numbers. Takes all of five minutes to catch up if I've not…"
Pete Shaw replied to barend's discussion 'Not happy with the new PDM' in the group OmniPod Users"Gets me every now and then too, usually when I'm in a hurry. Not an issue unless you're really rushing and put blood on the strip before waiting. That said, I got caught out a few times on the old version by not waiting long enough for the…"
Pete Shaw replied to whitey's discussion 'surfing with pumps....or not' in the group Athletic Diabetics"Hi. I'm probably a bit late in seeing this but I'm a surfing/kitesurfing Omnipod user. Never had a problem with using it in the water and generally wear pods on the backs of my upper arms. I tend to use a latex/crepe wrap (think…"

Pete Shaw replied to Pete Shaw's discussion 'Next gen Omnipods in use (UK)' in the group OmniPod Users"True. Still Freestylin'"
garidan replied to Pete Shaw's discussion 'Next gen Omnipods in use (UK)' in the group OmniPod Users"No, the lifescan verio strips will come in 2013, but no FDA or CE submission yet ..."
rivey replied to Pete Shaw's discussion 'Next gen Omnipods in use (UK)' in the group OmniPod Users"I may have missed this but to our friends "over the pond" using the new pods, which BG meter is built into the new PDM? Has the Freestyle been replaced? Thanks"
"At age 51 I agree with you!"
"Hah!"
barend replied to Pete Shaw's discussion 'Next gen Omnipods in use (UK)' in the group OmniPod Users"You are right. Comparing the old with the new manuals I don't see any difference re alarms."
jbowler replied to Pete Shaw's discussion 'Next gen Omnipods in use (UK)' in the group OmniPod Users"The manual (I'm in the US so haven't seen one yet) says that the vibration alert does not apply to critical warnings, so my guess is that the whine still happens in the various termination conditions.
It's not going to be much…"
garidan replied to Pete Shaw's discussion 'Next gen Omnipods in use (UK)' in the group OmniPod Users"There is a hole under the pod to stop it screaming, through a metal wire you push it."
"Does anyone know if the "screeching" of the pods with pod errors occurs in the new ones? It doesn't happen often but I cannot stand when it does! And if you're saying it's harder to get the new ones apart, no bueno."
Pete Shaw replied to Pete Shaw's discussion 'Next gen Omnipods in use (UK)' in the group OmniPod Users"Glad I'm not the only one."
barend replied to Pete Shaw's discussion 'Next gen Omnipods in use (UK)' in the group OmniPod Users"I strongly recommend cats to stay out of this sofisticated discussion..... :-)"

Welcome home Pete!
Take a peek at some the groups when you get a chance. Just go to the top of your page, and click on "Groups". Once in, you can either peruse the wide array of available groups....or simply type a specific interest in the space provided. Take in some of the blogs/discussions as well. The house in the photo is where Dr. Frederick Banting lived and had his medical practice in London, Ontario, Canada...before going to the University of Toronto to work on diabetes research, and ultimately the discovery of Insulin.
