Same happened with mine awhile back and I was a mess and unprepared too! Ugh. xmas eve I started the Omnipod thinking going tubeless would be great and mainly that financially the Pod is least expensive for current pump users...I pretty much hate this thing! Sooooo many more buttons to push, no IOB for boluses and the smaller pod doesn't come out till march. All these things I even considered before switching, but I just didn't think they would matter all that much...come to find out they sure do! Bummer :( I hope you have better luck finding your best fit for a new plastic pancreas!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17009502794324247532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-91205459458326616772013-01-08T19:02:59.516-05:002013-01-08T19:02:59.516-05:00I sleep in my birthday suit every night - my pump ...I sleep in my birthday suit every night - my pump tucked in snugly beside me. No way I was going back to pjs when I switched to the pump! <br /><br />Hopefully things sort out pretty quickly for you and without too much aggravation.

The smaller pods with the new PDM have been approved by the FDA and will be shipping out in late Feb./early March.

However, I'm hearing it won't be available until 2Q13, and I'm sure you don't want to wait that long to start up again. I used a traditional pump in 2002-2003 and could never get used to being attached. So, I've been on MDI the rest of the time and am keeping my fingers crossed that OmniPod just might be the perfect option for me!

Yesterday I got a no delivery alarm followed by a motor error alarm upon changing all the parts that need to be changed in such an alarm upon calling medtronic and doing all the checks it was determined that my pump was not working so they sent me a new pump can i tell you I received the new pump in 70 minutes (very impressed) since I live a distance from medtronic In the Toronto area. so it was a one shot deal lol literally ! <br /><br /><br />Amanda Enoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-17772724458838522992013-01-08T13:20:54.624-05:002013-01-08T13:20:54.624-05:00I'm still dancing around the idea of a pump, w...I'm still dancing around the idea of a pump, when I did a saline trial of the OmniPod I was surprised at how comfortable the idea settled in my mind.
