Omnipod batteries

@Linny1

I tracked my battery usage for two changes. The first was 22 days; the second was 23 days.

In looking at my settings report which might have an effect on battery consumption, I have:

BG Sounds - On

Revers Bolus Calculations Enabled - Yes
Suggested Bolus Calculations Enabled - Yes

Auto-Off - Off
Check Blood Glucose Reminder - Off
Confidence Alert - On
Missed Bolus Reminders - Off
Pod Expiration Alert - 12 hours
Reminder Alerts - On

I have six different basal rates set.

How has it been going?

Never buy AA’s in 4 packs! buy them in much larger quantities, and at the right stores. For example, Costco sells batteries for WAAAY less per battery (2 brands, Kirkland, and Duracell) than $1.12 per battery. We have to be smart consumers…

The actually price, as of today, at Costco is $0.375 per battery for AA’s. (Duracells).

And when you want button batteries such as the popular 2032’s, etc, check through the Amazon site for the very best deals, and shipping is free at the best vendors, through Amazon. The batteries are SO much cheaper than any brick and mortar store I’ve seen button batteries sold, including all the usual discount stores such as Walmart, Target, et al.
