garidan replied to Jen's discussion 'New, smaller Omnipod arrived!' in the group OmniPod Users"Which "broken system" are you talking about ? If you would have had (sorry, I'm non english speaking ...) a non-patch micro you should have waited till 4 years before upgrading."
garidan replied to julez_79's discussion 'tummy bruising and injections getting more painful....any tips?'"Which insulin are you using ? I think you could try changing it, it could be an allergy to some additive. Use arms too as sites, rotate more."
garidan replied to Jen's discussion 'New, smaller Omnipod arrived!' in the group OmniPod Users"They always said the new pod is cheaper to manufacture, but the street price would stay the same. Insulet has NEVER had since 2005 a profit, they can't survive that way. The reduced cost (and increased customer base) are letting insulet to earn…"

garidan replied to Erik's discussion 'Current Users Are Important to Insulet (LOL)' in the group OmniPod Users"On may 6th we will know something more (link). I read last year they had 3 lines of production, one setup for the new pod (at the time sold only in Europe), the other two for the original pod one.
It could be they are getting some problem/delay…"

garidan replied to Graceymomma's discussion 'Would Medtronic's smaller dosing increments make a big difference for me?'"I think you should ask Animas if and which upgrade path they can offer you toward their new micro Vibe. It will take 1 year or more to get approved, but if they give you an upgrade chance, that would be a good reason to prefer Animas. Otherwise they…"
garidan replied to Erik's discussion 'Current Users Are Important to Insulet (LOL)' in the group OmniPod Users"A pump model upgrade is an event which happens once in 6-8 years and you get upset for 2-3 months more waiting ? I don't understand this. And all is about a smaller size, not a CGM integration or some major innovation. I would be more upset by…"
garidan replied to Clare's discussion 'Dietary Fat Can Affect Glucose and Insulin Needs of Type 1s'"I have a bias because I'm italian, but with the right wave or combo bolus you CAN control a pizza. It's a "long run" of many hours, but you can ;-)"
garidan replied to Sarah's discussion 'Low, after low after low'"In my experience Novorapid lasts 4 hours and for big boluses a little more. Starting from 88 and landing at 86 means the bolus was right (if you insulin action time is 4 hours), IF you tested your basal and skipping lunch yout BG doesn't drop.…"
garidan replied to Sarah's discussion 'Low, after low after low'"It seems novolog has too much tail of action, you need something stronger in the first 2 hours. How were you going with humalog ? As for omnipod, why do you havo to stay on MDI for boluses, the pump is finer in doses, you can take 3.2U if you need.…"
garidan replied to Sarah's discussion 'Low, after low after low'"Usually to test for a right basal you do fasting: skip breakfast and see if you bg is steady. The day after skip lunch and look for the same. So for dinner. I think your basal is too high.
It could even be that your eating low carb is misleading you…"
garidan replied to Tracy's discussion 'Are there any T1 happy with Omnipod?' in the group OmniPod Users"I think it is doable and worth it especially when Dexcom delivers Gen 5, a phone based CGM. In 5-6 years omnipod 3 gen will have enough power on the pod chip to host a "webserver" to let other devices control it by a standard html 5…"
