Thanks guys for the quick replies, I was happy to make these videos and I hope to make one more that shows wearing options under your clothes and bolus delivery and PDA storage.
At this point I have my basals dialed in and I am delivering less bolus amounts and I am leaving my PDA unit in the bag most of the time.
Today at work I check my BG twice and both times I was in my range and the pda recommended 0 units bolus! A very nice feeling.
Dewey, I made that first video covering the "package" arrival, it is fun to get a Christmas style package of new toys!
I also made it because my doctor did not explain how I would get set up. I asked my local drugstore if they were going to carry the OmniPod if I brought them a prescription and they didn't even know what I was talking about. It wasn't until I got a call from Insulet explaining what they were to send me.
Notme, I really don't buy the argument that the pod is too big for you. There are so many locations for the pod and without a tube and a pump unit there is less overall on your body. How big is your pump? it's certainly larger than a pod. Men do not have a monopoly on loose clothing. I see many women's blouses that have layered ruffles and dropped collars. Women also have the benefit of extra neck jewelry that would draw attention away from the device, skirts,pant suits. With a skirt, you could place a pod on the top of the thigh. The pod can easily take direct pressure. I was afraid to place the pod on right side under right breast because of my seatbelt, but I have been wearing lately under the seatbelt with no discomfort at all. I have seen several wearing on the backs of their arms, I have yet to try that, but it will put the pod in the sleeve of a shirt. Unless you wear one of those cyclicist stretch shirts like lance Armstrong then who would see it, and actually who would care? I have shown my pod to a few of my co-workers and after one or two questions they never say anything about it again.
Best wishes!!
