Hello All
I reordered my pods last week and was hoping to hold out for the new pods ( couldn't wait any longer ) but when i inquired they were still not shipping : (
To my surprise Insulet treated me with a new new PDM and pods when i opened the box !!
The size is amazing ! It feels so much more secure on the body and the IOB is the icing on the cake.
I hope everyone gets them soon ...
Congrats!! I hope we all get the new ones soon too! I’m guessing you are receiving your pods directly from insulet?
That’s a pretty great surprise! I get mine through Doubek medical and just a couple weeks ago ordered 3 months of old pods… Boo!
Congrats!
hope you enjoy!
Just curious...did they send through regular mail? USPS.
Also..what is the city/zip they shipped from . Curious where their warehouse is..lol
Yeah I was curious if their warehouse was in MA as well. No biggie
Congrats! Ours shipped today! Kennedy is excited but I am going to open them first to be sure they are new ones before I let her look!! This will be a diaversary present!!
Hope to have that same thing happen. Found myself using more and more bolus lately....
Hoping to have the New PDM thursday..but Im going to use my remaining 2 pods before I change since the old ones will be useless :)
Same here. Expected 3 months supply of old pods but received new pods with new PDM.
I'm curious to know if the new pods have improved on the post-change high issue. Have you heard anything about that yet?
It sounds like the new pods are an improvement on most if not all fronts. Great news!!
Hoping to avoid the post change highs... Im all set to put my first new one on Tuesday, but may change it early ..haha
Just got mine today (order went out Monday). The ordering department told me about them so I haven't been trained up yet--I'm going to look through the training web site asap.
I had thought the old PDM calculated insulin already delivered...I'm surprised to hear it's a new feature. Need to get up to speed on that.
The new size looks great. I just wish they had sealed the adhesive strip to the full area of the bottom of the pod--if that makes sense--the gap is where I usually catch it on things and yank them off. It does look a bit sturdier -- pod to tape -- hopefully not wishful thinking.
And...I hope that new PDM is on the house--I was assuming I'd get an upgrade bill after they ran it through insurance. I've got 2 older PDAs now and half a box I'm going to keep around as backups, but wish the new pods worked with the old PDM.
Like I said, I had only dealt with the billing department on a re-order, so everything is new to me.
Excited to try it. Good luck with it!
It's the way in which IOB (insulin on board) is calculated that has changed. In the past, the PDM only took into consideration correction boluses for high blood sugar. But, as I understand it, the new PDM/pod system now calculates both meal boluses AND correction boluses as part of IOB. Which is, as far as I (and a lot of people on here) am concerned is the way that it always should have been.
Translation: yes, it always has calculated IOB, but now it's calculating it correctly :)
Paul,
Markeeezy is correct. It did calculate IOB, but not the way that many would prefer (which would be to include meal boluses as part of IOB). Now it will calculate it that way, which in theory should help many people with insulin stacking issues, etc.
That has happened to us too - not sure if it's coincidence, but my son has been really high lately and has really evened out since putting on a new pod yesterday . . .
Alas I will have to wait till the fall or end of 2013 and they are not out here yet.
Where you been hiding my fav canadian :)
So when I got a three months resupply of "the old pods" on May 30; I called to inquire about new pods and was told not to worry -- the transitions won't start until late summer. Now clearly they are occurring for everyone just a week or so later. I'd rather have been told "sorry your reorder was just a week early" than be told something not true. I guess they don't know forums exist.
I have been in the "be patient" corner, but having 3-month supply sent out just days before transition is annoying. I'm asking myself "stick with it or should I see if they'd do a switch-out for me?...."
been around, just no new messages I have had anything to say anything on.
