AAAAArgh @karen8967 glad you are happy with the outcome and sorry the omnipod didn't work out for you.
thanks diakat x@karen8967 want to hug you for the pump loss and congratulate you for the return to better numbers. What a pain the whole thing has been.
thanks mei xSo sorry, Karen. Ive heard some have been able to argue for another pump. I asked my DSN about it, she said that I would need to put forward a very strong case to pick another pump choice. It’s a bit awkward because your omnipod can’t go to another person and you still have that funding. I’m happy you’re less stressed, I hope your next consultant appointment goes well.
i did ask about a tubed pump with steel cannulas but dsn said i cant have another pump for four years i feel fine now thanks and bgs settling down x i have still got the omnipod as nurse told me to keep hold of it for now but obviously i wont be using it ,just seems such a waste xOh dear @karen89 , maybe after a few months you might feel like giving at another go. I can't imagine there'd be too much to stop you doing that?
As I'm sure there was a reason you were put forward for the pump, I hope you don't feel between a rock and hard place.

Ive been on it since 11th december marie so just over the 30 days xHere our insurance companies only allow you a new/different pump every 4-5 years. They are expensive and Omnipod is one of the more expensive if not the most expensive insulin pump. There is always an appeal process of need for a pump and this one a person has issues with, but it's probably not an easy argument. We do have the option with an Omnipod here of a free trail period from 30 days when you receive it if you don't like it you can return it. I don't know how long you have had it or if you have that option? Obviously then they can refurb them for someone else, especially since the control isn't actually involved with holding insulin or in contact with the body and blood etc.
So have yall ever ate 150-200g carbs in one sitting? Well I just did, oops. But it was a delicious amount of carbs which contained italian almond cookies and crackers. I really fancied carbs tonight
Aw thanks marie ive tried to get in touch with dn today and no-one got back to me was rather upset ,receptionist just said nurses were busy with clinics but a phone call takes minutes just felt totally let down ive had more support off all yous on here sorry for moaning xx
