Scott Wilkins replied to Erik's discussion 'Supplier Problem Claimed as Root Cause for Current User Transition Delay' in the group OmniPod UsersScott Wilkins replied to BWashington's discussion '"Soundproofing" the PDM?' in the group OmniPod Users"With the old pods, if they failed with a constant beep as some did in the past Insulet recommened putting them in the freezer. I had one that did that, and it worked at making the pod silent. I wonder if you could do that with the PDM??? Just a…"
Scott Wilkins replied to Devildog's discussion 'My observations and opinions after two months of Podding' in the group OmniPod Users"Thanks for a great post. I'm with you 100% on your opinions. The PDM definitely needs some update love. Smaller on it would be fantastic too. Touch screen might be nice, but I'd at least like to have much better buttons. I get button…"
Scott Wilkins replied to BWashington's discussion '"Soundproofing" the PDM?' in the group OmniPod Users"You'd think with "improvements" they'd mean less annoying. This is not very nice of them. If I needed a warning, it'd be great. But I can control my own life and don't need them doing it for me without my consent.…"
Scott Wilkins replied to Agswin04's discussion 'Insulet Customer "service"' in the group OmniPod Users"I thought it was the new pods that were in short supply due to manufacturing snafus. So even if they had the new PDMs, they wouldn't do anyone any good yet until the get a sufficient supply of pods."
Scott Wilkins replied to Agswin04's discussion 'Warranty' in the group OmniPod Users"Shouldn't your insurance cover it anyway? If so, why worry. Plus I don't think Insulet has said anything to the same result as what you believe. That's just speculation by other users who are angry."
Scott Wilkins replied to daydreamer630's discussion 'Needing some help sending report to Dr.' in the group OmniPod Users"If you're unsure about PDF output from a program, install "Cute PDF" from ninite.com and print to the PDF file, just like you would print to a normal printer. Easy. I think the program does have a save to PDF, but I just used the…"
Scott Wilkins replied to NicIan's discussion 'Pdm readings' in the group OmniPod Users"Having any BG meter as close as 8 points to a doctor's office test is amazing. BG meters from everywhere have been on the defense against reports of their inaccuracies.
My tests with the Omnipod PDM against both another Freestyle and two other…"
Scott Wilkins replied to Jen's discussion 'New, smaller Omnipod arrived!' in the group OmniPod Users"Don't worry to much. They'll be here soon enough. Just be thankful for what we have already. That'll put a lot more years on your life."
Scott Wilkins replied to daydreamer630's discussion 'What happens when people notice your pod?' in the group OmniPod Users"I've been asked if it was a TENS unit. I didn't know they made them like that. I've used a TENS unit, but it was not attached like my omnipod is. And, I guess soon Insulet will be making these to deliver all types of drugs, so they…"
Scott Wilkins replied to Erik's discussion 'Insulet Corporation (PODD) Q1 2013 Earnings Call Transcript (has errors)--deletions of stuff less interesting to me...' in the group OmniPod Users"Thanks again Erik for a great post. They have some very exciting news. Can't wait to see what evolves from the CGM initiative."
Scott Wilkins replied to Erik's discussion 'Supplier Problem Claimed as Root Cause for Current User Transition' in the group OmniPod Users"Thanks for posting Erik."
Scott Wilkins replied to Jim's discussion 'New pod failures' in the group OmniPod Users"Wow, bad luck. Sorry to hear that's happening. I know one other person that's been on the new one's for a few weeks and has not had one failure yet. Sounds like you got a bad box. I'd call Insulet ASAP."
Scott Wilkins replied to markeeezy's discussion '10 Years and Counting!' in the group OmniPod Users"Congratz Markeeezy! Keep up the great work. Getting close to rolling over 40 years for me. Good control is never wasted. Hope your next 30+ are good for you."
Scott Wilkins replied to Renea's discussion 'Wearing the Omnipod and a Corset' in the group OmniPod Users"I don't know why it wouldn't work. It kinda falls into similar questions here about sleeping on the pod, or wearing other tight clothes. The area may become irritated after a while, but it should keep things from working properly. A corset…"

Read it all, but here's the good part...
BCG's latest feat, though, is perhaps its most unexpected. Several years ago, Harvard professor Denise Faustman showed that BCG could be used to treat diabetes in mice. She demonstrated that the…
