1 Month OmniPod Anniversary

June 13, 2008 marked my 1 month Anniversary of becoming a OmniPod user. I am happy with the OmniPod. I am Blessed, I haven't had any Pod failures, deathly highs or lows. I am Blessed, someone was smart enough to come up with a system that allows the Freedom of No wires. I am Glad I don't have to give myself injections anymore. I have learned a lot with the Pod. I am not ashamed to say I still have alot to learn.

I've learned:

With the correct basal setting's my fasting numbers can be controlled. I understand my settings may need to be adjusted again; I just have to roll with the punch(thanks to my friends at TuDiabetes.com).

God will never put more on me than I can bare, stand still and be patient.


Overall:

I am happy that I am an OmniPod user and I am loving every moment of it!

Going Good, Still Steady

I have been using the OmniPod for almost a month, I still like it has much as I thought I would. I am trying to be creative on where to place Polly Pod. I woke up this morning, decided to have Quyncee help place Polly Pod on my back, close to my bra strap. I like it there so far. No bad pods yet!!! My Bg's are staying between 90-100 fasting,post meals 75-100 and sometimes 1 or 2 creep up in the 150's. The good thing is I don't get stressed out, I chalk it up as a learning experience. I haven't had to change my basal setting's. I have changed my carb to insulin ratio from 1 to 18 to 1 to 15. Carb ratio 1 to 15 allows me to have better control. I called OmniPod a week ago to have the PathFinder software sent to me and I still haven't received it yet. I need to call them first thing Monday. I am curious to see what my numbers look like on paper!!! Overall I gave OmniPod 10 out of 10.

The Itch Is Gone....

The itch is gone, the itch is gone baby!!! The last 3 days w/ the OmniPod has been terrible, terrible not because of the Pod or the PDM, but terrible because of where I chose to place the POD. I placed it on my lower back (left side) and I hated it! I think it's odd because I loved it on the right. It was very irritating on the left. I will never place it there again!!! Amen to a 3 day site change; if it was permanent I would be in a DIABETIC COMA. I would have pulled Polly POD off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
