"We have also had a number of bad pods. That annoying beep! Keep a hammer handy! :)
The arm seems to work best for her since she can see it and understands what it does, etc. It also seems to be less painful. We make sure to keep her pre-occupied…"

cjb replied to Beth R.'s discussion 'Infusion site infection?' in the group OmniPod Users"Our daughter is (almost) 3 and we've been putting the pod on back of her arm. We were having similar issues with infections when we were putting the pod on her lower back. We occasionally have an issue with infections on the upper arm, but…"

cjb replied to Mike777's discussion 'Beach Vacation/Pod Adhesion & Co-Pilot questions' in the group OmniPod Users"I suppose I should add that our daughter is 2, so we are somewhat limited on placement locations for the pod. :)"
cjb replied to Mike777's discussion 'Beach Vacation/Pod Adhesion & Co-Pilot questions' in the group OmniPod Users"We went to Mexico on vacation and found out after the first day that it would be too hard to keep the pod on. She was spending all day in the water, and I don't think there was anything we could have done to keep the pod on.
As far as the…"
cjb replied to Mike777's discussion 'Highs after Pod change?' in the group OmniPod Users"I think we have a system pretty well down. We do a .4 to .5 bolus before the change, then deactivate immediately after. Get the new pod ready, filling the reservoir with the fill hole up, then let the pump prime while the fill hole is still in the…"
cjb replied to Mike777's discussion 'Highs after Pod change?' in the group OmniPod Users"We've also had a LOT of problems with the POD on our 2 year old. After going to see the doctor to talk about the issues we've been having she's suggesting that we look into the Medtronics unit. We were originally nervous about having…"
elaine peterson replied to cjb's discussion 'BG numbers using PDM vs other meters?' in the group OmniPod Users"I just read through that thread. I am going to try that trick. Thanks everyone. BTW, the reason I switched back to Freestyle was that my endo requested it. His office even called the pharmacy to change my scrip. My insurance doesn't cover the…"
HPNpilot replied to cjb's discussion 'BG numbers using PDM vs other meters?' in the group OmniPod Users"Fascinating...but not in a good way... I saw a consistent bias on the low side with the new strips in the Omnipod and ended up using a trick from Helmut to get it to read like my old Freestyle meter.
Yet others on here say they see a bias to the…"
elaine peterson replied to cjb's discussion 'BG numbers using PDM vs other meters?' in the group OmniPod Users"I have suspected the same...the butterfly test strips in the oPod are reflecting lower numbers than the One Touch. I don't want to wait for my next A1c results to be proven correct. I will continue to use the Freestyle strips but I will use the…"
jbowler replied to cjb's discussion 'BG numbers using PDM vs other meters?' in the group OmniPod Users"I don't believe any of the meters calculate the average over time; the "average" they give is an average reading, which is basically meaningless. That number can't be compared with the corresponding HbA1c average blood glucose…"
jbowler replied to cjb's discussion 'BG numbers using PDM vs other meters?' in the group OmniPod Users"I think your original intuitions are correct; they mean Emilie's hands, not yours.
That advice is aimed at people who bake (or, maybe, eat donuts) and then do a blood test on *themselves*; the carbs on their hands from the flour and sugar…"
jbowler replied to cjb's discussion 'BG numbers using PDM vs other meters?' in the group OmniPod Users"My experience suggests that, of all the meters I've tried (Abbott (Freesytle), Bayer (Contour), Roche (AccuChek), Agamatrix (WaveSense)) they are all consistent when my blood glucose is in the range 80-160. Once it gets outside this range all…"
Helmut replied to cjb's discussion 'BG numbers using PDM vs other meters?' in the group OmniPod Users"A while ago I did extensive tests and reported them here: A1C Surprise"
