Rob Martin replied to Re's discussion 'software on a mac: advice please before I start' in the group OmniPod Users"I was never able to get any of the emulators like Parallels or Virtual Box to see the PDM. The only way I've ever gotten it to work on my Mac was was to install and run windows via Bootcamp."
Rob Martin replied to Shawn MacKay's discussion 'pod removal' in the group OmniPod Users"I usually try to change them after a shower and put lots of soap on the pod and run lots of water over the pod if I can. I've also had good luck using baby oil."
Rob Martin replied to NatalieHodge's discussion 'six flags and pod placement?' in the group OmniPod Users"I prefer the back of my arms when doing active stuff. Managed to get through 3 days of canyoneering in Utah a couple of weeks ago without ever knocking it off my arm. I wrapped the pod in an ace bandage to give some extra protection."
Rob Martin replied to Putertech's discussion 'What's your favorite spot....' in the group OmniPod Users"Only place that works for me so far is the backs of my arms. I peeled a few off when I first started but I quickly developed a good "sense" of the backs of my arms and have not had any "peel offs" in a long time. I have not had…"
Rob Martin replied to johnnyjumpstart's discussion 'What to do when I didn't get the two beeps after filling pod?' in the group OmniPod Users"I usually try them anyhow and like others here have had pretty good luck. I'm actually wearing one now that failed the 2 beeps and has been working like a champ for nearly 2 days."
Rob Martin replied to Rob Martin's discussion 'Interesting, Google knows I'm a T1' in the group OmniPod Users"Interesting discussion, good arguments on both sides of this one as is usual with this group. I'm a web developer so I did know how this is happening. Still think it's a privacy violation for me since I actually am a T1 and someone like my…"

Just got my A1C results back (on my 50th birthday no less) and it's 6.4! Down from 7.2. Nice birthday present.
Must be the elevation. I just bought a house that sits at the lofty height of 8650' Not only is the view spectacular but the mountain air must be good for my blood sugar.

I was in Austin a couple of weeks ago attending the SXSW Interactive conference. The morning I was supposed to leave I accidentally took 30 units of my short acting insulin instead of my long-term insulin. Fortunately I immediately realized what I did. After wondering for a bit if I had just killed myself I call my doctor and get her answering machine. Taking mattes into my own hands I then proceeded to raid the mini bar and ate 2 Milky Way bars, a bag of M&Ms and a package of Famous Amos… Continue

In March 2006 I got a severe case of Pancreatitus and was in the hospital for 81 days, most of that time was spent in the ICU. Five months later I was finally starting to recover enough to get back to work and life.
My doctors had been holding out hope that my pancreas might recover and that my diabetes would be a temporary condition. Tests last August confirmed that my pancreas is not going to recover so I am now facing the reality of being a diabetic for the rest of my life. I've… Continue

Gil DePaula said… - Hi Rob,
Pancreum is just starting. We have a CGMS prototype ready but need lots of investment to make all of our products come true. It will still take a few years. Some simple iPhone Apps will come soon. Only engineering work is going on for now.
After working for Minimed and Insulet for several years, a few of us think we can do better.
Stay in touch...
Cheers,
Gil

- Hey Ho; armchair rockstar status is mostly due to self-proclamation. However, I have in fact played in many bands, put out records/cd's, toured, etc. I can be almost 100% positive you have heard of none of them. I play in a band currently so I figure that will help assure my tenured position.
