My Omnipod Sense - Piece Of Job One

Learning too discovering novel things every damn twenty-four hours too glad that Insulet gives us 45 days to figure it out. 

There’s a learning plication when it comes to wearing the Omnipod, but thus far it's been skilful - except for a few hiccups along the way.

I’ve taken copious amounts of notes - thus many notes that I had to separate them upwards into ii posts!

Part 1 is below too I promise you lot enjoy!

So this happened!

Day 1: Omnipod grooming alongside my CDE went good too I'm officially untethered!
Wearing pod on my correct arm. It's weird non beingness tethered to my electronic pancreas ,but inwards a actually nifty way!

Also, discovered that I walk freakishly simply about the border of door frames.

Seriously, why receive got I non realized this most myself before?  
Another also, since noticing this Kellyism, I receive got acquire amend at non slamming into door frames.  

Day Day 2: Experienced absorption issues 27 hours into wearing alongside perfect numbers upwards until then. I was the wearing the pod on my arm - the 1 I kept banging into door frames. 

Called CS too replaced pod. More on that inwards constituent 2.

Day 5: I swam inwards the Atlantic body of body of water alongside my pod for the really showtime fourth dimension - it was fantastic!

Also, it stayed securely on my somebody - muddied legs too all. 
Also: AWESOME.

go inwards for a dip inwards the Atlantic

Day 8: I left my PDM/case on the tabular array inwards a restaurant that I had simply exited. 

I right away noticed later on checking my mitt handbag (to brand certain I had my PDM,) too ran dorsum inwards to retrieve it - too all the spell silently praying to the Diabetes Gods that it was still there. It was too I was grateful - it has non happened since. 

Day 9: Wearing the pod on my left arm - it's working well, but I'm aware of my heart whenever I twist to acquire out my vehicle. 

Day 17: Getting the hang of podding too no longer waking upwards too reaching to banking concern check if my heart is attached to the waistband of my Pajamas. 

Same goes for reaching to disconnect every fourth dimension I walk towards the bath to shower.

Day 35: OK, every 1 time inwards a spell I Still catch my waist band to disconnect before taking a shower - sometime habits choke hard.

Maybe it’s simply me

For the showtime few days, I kept confusing my PDM alongside my iPhone and whenever I was trying to receive got a pic of my PDM screen. 

I’d stare at the hide for a few seconds, all confused equally to why I couldn’t receive got a hide shot. 

Unlike an iPhone you lot can’t receive got a pic of the PDM hide alongside said PDM too no affair how difficult you lot seek too endeavour to press Home push too the nonexistent Silent switch. 

No affair how difficult 1 tries, you lot cannot receive got a
screenshot alongside your PDM.

But you lot can customize your PDM

Day 33 too since I'm being balls out honest, sometimes I even thus catch my iPhone when I hateful to catch my PDM too and thus wonder "why" too out loud when I press the "Home" push too get to bitch out charge because I can’t scroll down.

Then I realize why too I experience similar an idiot. 

Spacial Issues

I even thus receive got them, but instead of doorknobs too edges resultant alongside heart tubing, arm pods too door frames receive got acquire my novel jam - literally.  

like I mentioned before inwards the post, for the showtime few days of podding, I banged my pod arm into my kitchen too bedchamber door frames to a greater extent than oftentimes than I’d similar to admit. 

Now, I'm specially to a greater extent than aware of my environs - at to the lowest degree when I'm wearing the pod on my arm. 

Black on Black heart skin 

PDM came alongside a dark Skin. Black PDM + Black Case/ Black Skin way the potential for misplacing is an resultant because diabetes or not, I am extremely nearsighted - there's a argue I avoid handbags alongside dark lining too my wallet is non dark for a argue - I can't freaking uncovering anything inwards a blackened handbag - peculiarly a dark wallet.

Also, I've position aqua blue K-tape on my dark remote command for the same reasons.

My Fix

I receive got a collection of several brightly colored too insulated, three too 3/4 inch X seven inch, makeup bags. I utilisation 1 of these bags daily too rotate whenever the mood strikes. 

Currently the 1 I'm using has owls all over it  - too people halt me every damn twenty-four hours because it's thus cute.

 I ever position the PDM (and my canister of teststrips/lancets because the PDM likewise acts equally a meter,) dorsum inwards whatever handbag I’m using, ASAP too without fail.

It's at nowadays acquire a full fledged habit - too it didn't receive got thirty days!

When I endure out, I position the PDM, spare pod, exam strips,and insulin inwards said makeup bag, too house inwards my handbag/work bag. 

Sidebar: Lipstick, eye-drops, my driver’s license too a credit carte likewise tally inwards the handbag along alongside all of the inwards a higher house mentioned - VERY IMPORTANT.

Also, late started using bright light-green pare for the PDM because it brings out my eyes  - but I even thus handbag it

Owl handbag because functional too really cute!

Tune inwards tomorrow for Part 2, where I suspension downwardly too acquire to the nitty gritty re: what I dearest most podding, equally good equally the learning plication when it comes to beingness a Podder
