"Perhaps your basal rate needs adjusting. You can change the basal rate numerous time during the day and also have several basal rate programs."

jwmiller64 replied to Jared's discussion 'Disappointed with service from Insulet and OmniPod' in the group OmniPod Users"A couple of different problems. On one the cannula failed to insert, another couple had communication errors with the pdm and wouldn't activate. I was able to withdraw the insulin from them and use it in a fresh pod."
jwmiller64 replied to Jared's discussion 'Disappointed with service from Insulet and OmniPod' in the group OmniPod Users"When my wife started the omnipod there was a mix up as well. No one contacted her and she was slow to contact them. (they apologized for the mixup) However once she got going, she couldn't be happier. Very few problems (3 bad pods out of 40)…"
jwmiller64 replied to Michele Stark's discussion 'Living without type 1. so how does this work?'"This thread is too good to resist. Even if all of what the original poster and MaddiesMom said was true, it seems as if the diet would be more work than standard treatment of administering the insulin you need."
jwmiller64 replied to kittiecouture's discussion 'PC or Mac' in the group OmniPod Users"Well I tried again. The software runs but unfortunately plugging in the cable causes a PDM error that requires a hard reset thus losing all the PDM settings.
I wonder if it is just my setup or if others would have the same results."
jwmiller64 replied to kittiecouture's discussion 'PC or Mac' in the group OmniPod Users"I installed it and opened the application using CrossOver. (Crossover allows you to run some windows programs with out purchasing Windows system software.)
However when I attached a usb cable (not the one included in the starter kit) to the PDM, the…"
jwmiller64 replied to jwmiller64's discussion 'Minnesota users' in the group OmniPod Users"Thank you for all of your insights. My wife has chosen to go with the omnipod and turned in her paperwork to the doctor last weds.. Now we will see how long it takes to have everything to runs its course. Her doctor must have been on the ball…"
jwmiller64 replied to Donna K's discussion 'Kashi Go Lean Cereals - Cause Unexplained Highs'"Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that the cause was only the sugar. I just remember thinking that for a "healthy cereal" it had an awful lot of sugar."
jwmiller64 replied to Donna K's discussion 'Kashi Go Lean Cereals - Cause Unexplained Highs'"I think I may have to do with the cane sugar. Looking at the list of ingredients, it is pretty near the top. I used to love the Go Lean Crunch, even sweeter. I think of it as candy even though it has a lot of fiber."
Rolland replied to jwmiller64's discussion 'Minnesota users' in the group OmniPod Users"I would not base your choice of pump on who the local reps are for any particular device manufacturer. I have never met with one. Base your choice on lifestyle, activities, feelings about tubing, feature sets, ect. A good endo makes all the…"
Lisa Dalbec Fiecke replied to jwmiller64's discussion 'Minnesota users' in the group OmniPod Users"Hi John- We live in MN, my son has been on the pump since Jan. of this year. I have to say I am not impressed the the rep we had from Omni Pod. She did come to our house for training for about 2 hrs, sure she knows the specifics of the pdm and…"
shzowie replied to jwmiller64's discussion 'Minnesota users' in the group OmniPod Users"My son is on the Omnipod, for about a year now. This was our first pump. It has issues as I believe any piece of equipment does, but over all we love the freedom it has allowed us. We had a 2-3 training in our endo's office with the trainer (a…"
kae replied to jwmiller64's discussion 'Minnesota users' in the group OmniPod Users"John,
I was diagnosed in May, 2009 and have been on the OmniPod since December 2009. When I got the pump there was only two hours of instruction by the rep. I would like to have had more training and some follow up sessions. The only other time I…"
4xgrandma replied to jwmiller64's discussion 'Minnesota users' in the group OmniPod Users"Vickie,
The Omnipod was my first pump; in fact I waited for it to be available in my area rather than go on a tubed pump. I found the Omnipod simple to use and the automatic insertion adds to the ease of use. Just my two cents.
Linda"
jwmiller64 replied to jwmiller64's discussion 'Minnesota users' in the group OmniPod Users"Thank you. Your response is what made me ask if others had had good experiences from their local company reps. She has tried wearing both a sample pod and a sample infusion set and Medtronic Revel (super responsive local rep) and I think has felt…"
