New pods are worth the wait.
My podder has used the new system for couple of weeks after using the older system for a several years. We were excited about the smaller size, but the lighter weight has turned out to be more important to her. While there is a lot more confirming of all the input it is also nice to be able to give commands from farther away.See More
greg replied to Erik's discussion 'Supplier Problem Claimed as Root Cause for Current User Transition Delay' in the group OmniPod Users"It was ordered May 6 shipped two days later. The new PDM came Monday since I did standard shipping. Set it up yesterday. Set up isn't much different. Just a lot more confirming prior screens. Going to activate first new pod tonight when old one…"
greg replied to Erik's discussion 'Supplier Problem Claimed as Root Cause for Current User Transition Delay' in the group OmniPod Users"Funny you should mention that. We have had 5 boxes of new pods for a month and Omnipod says sorry no new pdm yet. We were told to send them back to supplier to be replaced with old pods. That's why I bought a pdm elsewhere and will consider it…"
greg replied to Erik's discussion 'Supplier Problem Claimed as Root Cause for Current User Transition Delay' in the group OmniPod Users"If you have access to the new pods, You can buy a new PDM from American Diabetes Wholesale (which is frankly a little annoying)and then you will have a backup when the one you should already have comes. That is if you don't mind dropping $660…"

greg replied to Will P's discussion 'How Much Is The Omnipod Worth To You?' in the group OmniPod Users"We are in the exact same boat and wouldn't consider switching."
greg replied to lindanu's discussion 'If money and insurance didn't matter which pump would you pick?'"I have a 13 year old who has used the Omnipod for 1 1/2 years. We have a high deductible so we pay 100%. For her there wasn't any decision. She didn't want the tubes and likes to be able to swim or shower without having to worry about it.…"
greg replied to Katsz's discussion '15 yr. old really wants the Omnipod' in the group Omnipod Users"Can't help with the insurance question we have never had any other type of pump. My 12 year old daughter has used the pod since August. She wanted no part of any pump with tubes. It takes some work to get it fine tuned. Even then there will be…"

Trying to stay active but hard with this headache. Keep in touch. Patti

- Hi there. No typically Caleb wears them for three days. Occasionally we see a rise to numbers on day three and then we change it. But lots of time it goes the three days plus the extra 8 hour grace period. Have you seen Caleb's vids with OmniPod?
