kchannell replied to Kaayle's discussion 'What to do with older dexcom?' in the group Dexcom Users"I've successfully sold cgm sensors in the past on eBay, but recently they've cracked down on it and taken my listing down. Kinda lame since I'm actually helping people in the world and also selling them at a much reduced price; a…"

kchannell replied to Lindsay Sears's discussion 'site stopped working' in the group OmniPod Users"This happens to me all the time, I feel that 1 in 3 pods seems to not work and I get little to no absorption without any pump errors. It also seems totally random sometimes one site works and sometimes it doesn't, even with rotating sites…"
kchannell replied to Jess's discussion 'Bad Pods or Bad Absorption??' in the group OmniPod Users"This happens to me all the time, I feel that 1 in 3 pods seems to not work and I get little to no absorption. It also seems totally random sometimes one site works and sometimes it doesnt, It's a major frustration and I'm not really sure…"
kchannell replied to Jessica's discussion 'Apidra...'"I had the same issue, and it's definitely not a bad batch. Apidra just doesnt work for some people. I found it totally ineffective and went back to humalog."
kchannell replied to Jessica's discussion 'Apidra...'"Good to know that I'm not the only one! I have been trying out Apidra and have a very similar experience, it just seems to not be working at all. I have to take way more than Humalog and it seems to barely lower my levels. My pump is full of…"
kchannell replied to Santiago Jimenez's discussion 'POD no - SHOTS yes ?' in the group OmniPod Users"I was totally having the same issue with absorption seemingly getting worse over time, at times I felt like the pod was doing nothing at all. I think the key is to rotate more frequently and make sure you stay 2 inches away from a previous injection…"
kchannell replied to Janny's discussion 'Apidra - help and/or advice, please!' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Interesting, I had a similar result myself. I was really excited to have a faster acting insulin since I always have big peaks after meals that seem to stay up for an hour or more even when taking the proper amount of insulin. I actually feel that…"

kchannell replied to Christine's discussion 'Losing Confidence in the technology' in the group OmniPod Users"Thanks for the tip to not use lithium batteries or rechargeable batteries, my PDM always switches on and off and I thought it was just because of poor product design. I'm guessing it's because of those rechargeables I've been using,…"
kchannell replied to Germain's discussion 'KNOCKING OFF THE POD, and POD COLORS' in the group OmniPod Users"Yea I knock them off a lot, it's super annoying. When I wear them on my arm I experimented with cutting off the bottom strip of a t-shirt and wrapping it around my arm sort of like a bandage; I used velcro tape to keep it in place. It works…"
