"Welcome to a great site Rachel - check out the Omnipod Group for some usefull info!!"
"I'm on the Pod and really the only time it's alarmed by itself is when it's due to be changed - the Pod beeps and so does the PDM. It also beeps when checking your BG and when bolusing but you can silence the one for checking BG. Even…"

meee commented on Stress's blog post 'Optimist or Pessimist?'"I tend to be optimist and overbolus because I don't want to go high and my insulin needs have increased for my protein and fat on a low carb diet."
Kathyann commented on Stress's blog post 'Optimist or Pessimist?'"I'm not sure if I'm a pessimist but I have been guilty of underbolusing. Like you, I'm not always sure how many carbs are in unknown food. But I was also guilty of not using enough insulin at home because it was making me gain weight.…"
Optimist or Pessimist?
When it comes to bolusing are you a pessimist or an optimist? I think that for the first year on the pump I’ve been a pessimist because if I wasn’t quite sure of the carbs in a food then I would bolus less than I should have.

Since then my numbers have been better especially when I go out to eat or somewhere else where I’m not quite sure how the food was made. I’ve learned that I must bolus a…See More

TracySue123 replied to Stress's discussion 'PDM Failure' in the group OmniPod Users"I understand your frustration. I missed the free Dexcom upgrade by one day. I had only had my system for a couple of months and had to pay $400 for the newer version. At least Omnipod is going to do it for free and not only if you bought it one…"

johnnyjumpstart replied to Stress's discussion 'PDM Failure' in the group OmniPod Users"I don't consider the a PDM "failure". A "failure" is when the PDM can't be reset & Insulet has to send you a new one. That's really freak out time & why I always have a few insulin pens in my fridge to hold…"

Pammie said… Hi - don't have mine yet, but have been to the hospital today to start the education process. Hospital are still awaiting funding approval - luckily in the UK we don't have to buy medications for diabetes. I am really keen to just get on with it now!! Any negatives?
