Chadd replied to Mayumi's discussion 'End of insulin vial'"I tend to use the little insulin that is left of as a emergency injection."
Chadd replied to Dondi's discussion 'Someone stole my Omnipod controller'"I would simply contact Omni and talk to them to see if they would be willing to replace or actually work with you in getting it replaced. If your having to make payments, I think it would be well worth it."

Brunetta replied to Chadd's discussion 'Insulin Reseviors (Pre-Filling)'"I have pre-filled for vacations and during a week s that I kniw I will be busy. I personalkly find it cuts the time to change out as set down a bit.I use them right way and have seen no degradation in the insulin effectiveness."
Corinna replied to Chadd's discussion 'Insulin Reseviors (Pre-Filling)'"Yes, I have been told this as well. Insulin is stable in glass. So, I suppose if you have a glass reservoir filling it in advance wouldn't cause anything to leach into the insulin."
