Beth replied to Re's discussion 'IC presets' in the group OmniPod Users"I would like more I:C ratio pre-sets. There are only four and my 11 year old son needs at least 5. We have had to compromise and adjust for this which defeats one of the purposes of a pump.

Gil DePaula replied to Re's discussion 'IC presets' in the group OmniPod Users"Gary,

Stacey Chipka replied to Re's discussion 'software on a mac: advice please before I start' in the group OmniPod Users"Just a head up. I tried to install in on my Mac running Paralles and it fried my PDM. I would NOT attempt unless you have all of your settings written down and are prepared to lose all your data."
Re replied to Re's discussion 'software on a mac: advice please before I start' in the group OmniPod Users"Lol, not starting a mac/pc argument. A mac can run any pc software through parallel, I just havent done it yet myself. Just looking for someone who has experience running parrallel."
Scott Wilkins replied to Re's discussion 'software on a mac: advice please before I start' in the group OmniPod Users"Won't work on a Mac. Sorry. Probably won't work in Parallels, but might be worth a try. Since Macs are still less than 7% of the market, they probably won't support it.
The install on a PC can be finicky too, so keep at it. On my…"
