Hi all,Today I went to my Doctor's appointment and he set up my pdm for the omnipod...It is now after 7pm and I just put on my first pod filled with 100u of insulin...and I am happy to report that all is well so far...I'm really thrilled!!! He programmed in the very basic settings,but the PDM seems like it will be easy to figure out[I hope}lol...talk to you soon,Patti
