It makes me mad and I have gotten to the point where I wanted to be completely done with Omnipod. The longer I wait to invest in a new system, the worse it gets. It’s so frustrating because THEN it won’t do the math to give me automatic correction, bolus, or basal rates for 4-6 hours. Every time I change my batteries, it makes me reset the clock and deactivate my pod when it isn’t even time to. My internal battery only lasts so long and the past two months have been HECK when I have to change my batteries. This is the SECOND PDM, the past five years I’ve been using the Omnipod, that has been messing up. The reason for my change and interest in hearing your thoughts is because I have been having problems lately that stress me out. However, I think trying something new would be beneficial for me. With the original system, you have a PDM meter that checks your blood sugar, lets you bolus from it, etc. Not only would you carry the Bluetooth like cell phone that records all your blood sugars, bolus and basal rates, but you also have a separate Contour meter to check your blood sugars. I like that it Bluetooth’s with your meter to give you more accurate readings and even uploads it (when connected to WiFi) to an app where your endocrinologist can see your levels, but then again carrying a lot of stuff might become annoying. I have heard much talk about the new Omnipod DASH system and did some research on it. I’m all about trying new things, but I like to know the pros and cons of it. I am out of warranty with my current Omnipod PDM (Personal Diabetes Manager), which means the next thing I get, will be permanent for two to three years. I am having difficulty deciding which Omnipod system is better for me to have, so I would appreciate the feedback from you all! ![]() ![]() ![]() Hello all! I hope everyone is doing well in taking care of their diabetes and not having it effect their daily lives like I do sometimes (a lot).
