The insulin pump uses a CGM to automatically suspend when you are going low. Their studies have shown that this has a real impact on the frequency and intensity of severe low blood sugars. The Veo technology will likely arrive in the USA in 18 to 36 months.The Animas Vibe, an insulin pump with a built-in DexCom CGM, was just approved in Europe and will be submitted to the FDA for approval later this year. It uses a new generation DexCom sensor.Insulet has sought approval from the FDA for it's next generation OmniPod, a tubeless insulin pump. The new pods are 1/3 small...

I don't have issues with the pod or the pump. I hate calling tech support for a replacement pod.  I am always asked "20 questions"; it irks me.  I've been on the darn thing since May 2008.  If I don't know what I am doing by now,shoot me! So here's the deal:Monday time to change my pod.  I grabbed my Pod, cleaned the site, filled the pod, primed, pinched skin, placed the pod on my stomach and let the basal rate flow.  I walked out of the bathroom and less than a minute later my Pod alarmed. *PEEEEP*  I called Insulet's tech support. Here is a portion of what my call was like:Me: "Hello! I am calling because my Pod failed less than a minute after I changed it."Tech Support:  "Can I get your name?'Me: "My name ...

I never used the auto shipment before.   I called a week before my shipment was due.  I wanted to double triple check with Insulet to make sure my 3 month supply of Pods would be shipping out.  I spoke to a new CSR (customer service rep).  She said she didn't have my referral on file.  I let her know Tricare mailed me a copy and sent an e-mail notification stating my order was approved.  The CSR asked me to fax her copy.  I let her know I was driving but she cou...

I fired mine up last Wednesday afternoon, and have been happily playing with it since.  [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine) Diabetes Mine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2405954 Mon, 11 May 2009 13:00:30 +0100 2405954 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2390242&cid=t_232721_134_f&fid=34841&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.diabetesmine.com%2F2009%2F05%2Fnew-omnipod-pdm-is-here.html We knew it was coming, but Insulet Corp. has been very tight-lipped about their new color-screen PDM (controller unit) for the OmniPod wireless pumping system. Well, off a tip from a reader I’ve discovered the new unit is available for pre-order starting today — and it’s looking good.

Although I guess we should’ve seen it coming. Heck, the economy is in bad shape, and companies everywhere are cutting their loses. {So sorry for the layoffs, my friend [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine) Diabetes Mine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2297359 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 12:00:17 +0100 2297359
