Good one, Dan. That made me laugh.
When did you sped time in Britain, Pete? I did a Junior year abroad at LSE. So Iām a bit familiar with the strange language. I have had a few of these types of months with the pod, and I have also spoken with Ms. Tedeschi (found out she was from my hometown area when I lived in Mass). The last time this happened, I had lost about 4 pods in a row to occlucions, although I hadnt done anything unusual, and I was FURIOUS. I finally called my local rep, (the woman who gave me my initial training) and she pretty much put my mind at ease for goodā¦she told me whenever I needed pods immediately for any reason, to call her directly and she will drive them out to me. Since then, I have done this 3 times and I have to say, she is the best INsuliet employee there is! I encourage everyone to find your local rep, get to know them, explain your circumstances and see what they can do.
I totally get this right now. Iāve not had bad issues w/ Insulet, but the whole diabetes thing is just ā ā ā ā ā ā ā me off and itās good to know others get so highly irritated over what could probably be considered not-so-bad things (calling Insulet back next week = not so bad; having to remember to call back, having to take those 10 minutes out of your day again, having the customer service seem like completely incompetent fools and having to deal with something that nobody else around you has to deal with = major irritation that leads to an overall shitty day). I just am so sick of having to replace that damn pod every 3 days, and then the CGM every week and making sure Iāve got my stuff with me and having to leave work b/c I forgot to bring a new vial of test strips and all of it. It would be nice if the people who provide us the ā ā ā ā that makes life irritating could be on the ball. We donāt get to take a break from it, but they get to go home at 5:00.
Hope your week turns around. Mine hasnāt so far.
I think it might be a summer thingā¦ I started in January and didnāt have ANY trouble, and like you, had to pry the pods off. I think I need to just plan on them lasting only 2 days in the summertime.
Donāt get me wrong, I love OmniPod, love the product, the reps, the customer serviceā¦ they lose my rave reviews when it comes to dealing with insurance though. They do what they can, I understand that itās not piece of cake, but can I get my medical supplies now and deal with what my insurance will or will not coverā¦
me too! Rock on!
HOwever Dan, you dont look much or sound much like the character! ( I cant remember his name, the foil to John Mcsomething)(Iām just getting too old, and that movie was tooo long ago!
No, he had much more European flair (and a more expensive suit)!

The one with Samual L Jackson was OK. Butā¦ it had Samual L Jackson - āYeah, Zeus! As in, father of Apollo? Mt. Olympus? Donāt &(^#$% with me or Iāll shove a lightning bolt up your *&%^#$? Zeus! You got a problem with that?āā Hehehe.
I have her number stored in my phone.
