I love my “oPod” and yes all you Omnipod users we need to make this the new name for it. I think its just as innovative as the iPod. It is great and no one can try to replicate it no matter how they try. It will only keep getting better and never go out of style. From now on everyone needs to call the it the “oPod”
All you “oPod” owners throw your hands in the air and wave them like you just don’t care!
The new oPod PDM orders started rolling out as of June 1st. Lets celebrate!!!
I have the Omni Pod, but until I got to this site didn’t realize anyone continously used cgm’s on a regular basis.
Someone, anyone explain to me why you need a cgm all the time? Are alot of people doing this now?
I have been on a CGM since November (the Freestyle Navigator). My A1c has stayed the same (6.1%), but now instead of testing 12 times a day, I test only before bolusing for meals. I can see highs and lows before they hit serious spikes and treat accordingly. CGM technology has shown doctors that insulin peaks much later than they thought and it’s making people rethink eating immediately upon taking insulin. I’ve brought my post-meal blood sugars lower through this knowledge and have changed the way I take my insulin. It allows you to see if your basal rates are working, alerts you in your sleep if your levels are changing too quickly, and gives you a picture of how certain meals affect you. I am in love.
