Ren replied to dishers's discussion 'getting 1st time Omnipod soon' in the group OmniPod Users"Hi dishers. I don't have the new and improved PDM/pods but the only color on my PDM is the background - no text or numbers or charts are colored.
Batteries last weeks for me ... probably 4-5 weeks. It will likely depend on your "screen…"
Scott Wilkins replied to dishers's discussion 'getting 1st time Omnipod soon' in the group OmniPod Users"They are all colored screens. Though color is not dramatically used throughout the system. Only where it needs most attention.
