I couldn't live without the insulin on board feature, but I think Omni fixed that. Does the PDM warn you of how much time is left on the battery so you can gauge it before site change? Minimed has those little bars. When it gets down to one, we can change it. Very handy visual, right on the pump face so you can't lose track of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-4242962903770931552013-06-07T10:23:41.305-07:002013-06-07T10:23:41.305-07:00We have never had issues setting a temp basal with...We have never had issues setting a temp basal with a low battery, but we had our first PDM failure a couple of weeks ago. Of course, it happened on a Saturday so Emerson had to get injections until our new PDM arrived on Monday. She was cool with it, but I hated every minute of it.

I know she was being polite, but really?! Even if he couldn't I think she would know that I would come to a party prepared...ugh! Another mother there whose son is allergic to corn, peanuts, eggs, and wheat saw the look on my face and later pulled me aside to tell me how she got it. So, at least somebody there did! <br />Sorry about the craptastic pod/pdm episodes. I'd be incredibly frustrated, too. A glass of wine would be my remedy after a night like that! <br />Hope your June goes swell and d doesn't teach you too much! <br />Oh, how is your Kindergarten prep going?
