Probing the Pod: In-Depth Review

It's been four weeks since we switched from the Animas OneTouch Ping to the Omnipod insulin pump. We like it for the most part, but there are some issues that require serious attention as we believe the majority of Podders may not even be aware of the matter.

Happy #friyay everyone! We’re still on MDI - multiple daily injections til hopefully after we have our “mandatory” pump training on Wed with a fellow T1d & CDE herself! This means, in order for Coral to LIVE, she needs her:
Her NEW @tandemdiabetes #tslimx2 pump arrived! She’s not as excited about this change as I am, but she’ll get used to it. She, like many children living with #Type1diabetes are so resilient and strong! Also, she changed her clothes 4 x before this pic. 😆
Say it with me ⤴️😉✊🏼😷💉
Looks like we fooled a lot of you guys in yesterday’s April Fools post! 😂
GUESS WHAT?! We’re now sponsored by #novonordisk! We no longer have to pay for her life-saving insulin! 🎉💉
Wishing all our #healthcareheroes and doctors #HappyDoctorsDay today! The world has truly tested their resiliency and people have tested their boundaries. Follow these accts to #learnmore:
