"Hi..I just want to say that 6 months ago I too had no sleep. All I did was wonder what her blood sugar was. I checked every couple hours. Then we got a CGM. It literally changed our lives. She loves it (just takes a glance during gym or bike riding)…"

I am awake at night testing at 2:30am, then lay awake wondering if he is high enough to sustain him until morning, or too high, should I dose, and if I do, will he drop too fast... my husband sleeps on. I don't blame him,…"

Yes, there is no list, you get it when your next reorder is due."

RobAW replied to aimeeh2oski's discussion 'Interesting observation from Insulet' in the group OmniPod Users"I'm from Canada, and as far as I know there is no mention of the new pods even being approved by the Ministry of Health here yet (just a guess since Omnipod has only been available for us here in Jan of last year). I am definately not holding…"
Kilij replied to aimeeh2oski's discussion 'Interesting observation from Insulet' in the group OmniPod Users"I totally agree. I've been using OmniPod for about six years and I feel very strongly that children, especially small children, should have been issued the new pods along with the new users. I would gladly continue using the larger pods for an…"

Interesting observation from Insulet
A couple of months ago we went on a month-to-month reorder in hopes that we could get the new pods sooner than a full 3 month reorder.

So they were STILL manufacturing the old pods as recently as March.The other day I had to call for another shipment and our other two boxes arrived yesterday.
