Have you heard anything about that yet?"
annecy replied to type1gal's discussion 'Frustrated after 2 weeks' in the group OmniPod Users"My routine is as follows: 1. eat breakfast & bolus with old pod
2. then immediately change pods & make very small additional bolus
3. check sugars very frequently til lunch
4. bolus with needle for lunch
5. keep checking sugars
6. for me,…"
annecy replied to Mom 2 Kyle's discussion 'New, smaller Pods - order now or wait?' in the group OmniPod Users"Before ordering now or later, I would make CERTAIN that the ins. will cover the pods & that you have that in writing. After approving the Omni system in writing, my ins decided 3 months after I had been using the system that they actually…"

annecy replied to type1gal's discussion 'Frustrated after 2 weeks' in the group OmniPod Users"Hi Type 1, After 5+ years on the pod, here are some of the strategies that have helped me the most:
1. If bg is over 250, bolus 1 1/2 times the suggested amount.This is what my CDE told me & have found it to be very helpful. High sugars, with…"
annecy replied to Barney Swank's discussion 'Basal Rates' in the group OmniPod Users"Barney, So, you're on your own for now, medically speaking. You have no expert medical provider(re insulin pumping) to turn to just yet. If that's so, you may be exposing yourself to some potential danger. I also wonder if your insurance…"
annecy replied to Barney Swank's discussion 'Basal Rates' in the group OmniPod Users"Certified Diabetic Educator=CDE; there's usually one or more in every endo's office. They're usually the one who starts you on carb counting & then pump training. So, you mean you're, at the moment, without any medical…"
annecy replied to Barney Swank's discussion 'Basal Rates' in the group OmniPod Users"Welcome to the group! I had meetings with a CDE who programmed all the settings for me to start. There were rather frequent meetings & phone calls to solve problems & the settings were often changed slightly at those times. It's been…"
Bradford replied to annecy's discussion 'CIRCUITRY problem?' in the group OmniPod Users"When you have to tell it "go" once it's stuck to your skin, and it auto inserts, it keeps clicking...that's the canula being primed. So theoretically (just like w/ other tubed pumps) once you have finished the insertion/priming…"
2Dogs replied to annecy's discussion 'CIRCUITRY problem?' in the group OmniPod Users"yes it is self priming, but prior to placement. The canula I don't think is primed because it is not inserted until after. I believe some sort of needle pushes it into your skin, then retracts. Something I've wondered is when you see…"
jbowler replied to annecy's discussion 'CIRCUITRY problem?' in the group OmniPod Users"Yes, but there has been much debate (there are at least two or three threads on the forum) that the priming can be less effective if there is significant air injected into the pod. Various people (including me) have taken apart pods and been able to…"
annecy replied to annecy's discussion 'CIRCUITRY problem?' in the group OmniPod Users"My endo told me that he thought the Onmipod was self-priming. Is that correct?"
annecy replied to annecy's discussion 'CIRCUITRY problem?' in the group OmniPod Users"I wish I had more info, but I do not. I'm pretty much quoting verbatim what I was told by the medical provider who talked with the rep. I assumed circuity meant that there were bugs in the manufacture process that had been changed in some way.…"
Scott Wilkins replied to annecy's discussion 'CIRCUITRY problem?' in the group OmniPod Users"His statement seemed a bit of a stretch or over-generalization. None-the-less, they've got it fixed now. I guess I've been fortunate to not have seen this issue."

issue with new pods not delivering insulin
Posted on April 9, 2011 at 2:59pm 5 Comments 0 Likes
Hi,
Does anyone have problems with their pods not delivering insulin for the first several hours after activation? I've asked my endo, CDE, customer support, & their clinical specialist with no real solutions. Currently I am having problems with about 30-40% of pods. After 4/5 hours & some injections the pod seems to start working & usually will function for the duration of the 3 days. I keep the insulin at room temp & am careful about removing any air bubbles from the… Continue
