#MedTrum vs #Omnipod: gli adesivi e la dignità
Sottotitolo: una storia vera, con vittime 😶

Ho un pancreas elettronico incollato sull’addome. Letteralmente incollato.
Con dello scotch.
No, aspettate, con dell’“adesivo medicale”, che è scotch con l’autostima.

L’adesivo si stacca.
Non tipo “si allenta un po’ ai bordi dopo cinque giorni”.
Tipo post-it su muro umido.
Tipo la mia pazienza: improvvisamente, senza preavviso, con la massima disinvoltura.

Il sistema #MedTrum ha il sensore separato dalla pompa.
Due pezzi.
Due adesivi.
Due superfici capaci di coordinarsi (e si coordinano, giuro, si coordinano!) per staccarsi entrambe nel momento esatto in cui sei fuori casa, hai le mani piene e stai cercando di sembrare una persona funzionale.

L’adesivo della pompa poi.. quello lascia i segni.
“Segni” è l’eufemismo gentile che uso con la gente che non conosco bene. Con gli amici dico direttamente: sembro uscita da un combattimento tra folaghe assassine!

E poi c’è il pizzicore.
Il pizzicore non è dolore, eh no, sarebbe troppo semplice.
Il pizzicore è una cosa vigliacca, sottile, continua, che non giustifica nessuna azione ma ti logora esattamente come farebbe la tua nemensi che manda le mail alle 22 con “urgente” nell’oggetto.

Ho già rischiato due volte di estirparmi tutto in modalità riflessa: cyber-pancreas in volo verso il muro.
Io ferma a guardare il punto dove stava.
Silenzio.

Nessuno te lo dice, però.
Ti spiegano i boli, i basali, la curva glicemica, il conteggio dei carboidrati, cosa mangiare, cosa evitare, moderazione qui, attenzione là, zero alcol, niente eccessi... ma non ti spiegano che passerai venti minuti a cercare un angolo di pelle che regga un cerotto senza sembrare una carta geografica delle Guerre Puniche - chiedere al Signor Baci per referenze.

Quindi, oggi mi è arrivato il kit experience di Omnipod.
Loop aperto, compatibile con il #G7.

Lo terrò tre giorni, vedrò se resta attaccato, se non mi fa sembrare un prototipo di umano assemblato di fretta, e poi deciderò.

Non esiste la poesia del i“lo metti e te ne dimentichi”, esiste solo “impari a conviverci” - che è una cosa completamente diversa e infinitamente più onesta.

Stai sempre lì a negoziare con un pezzo di hardware che dovrebbe fare quello che un organo ha smesso di fare.
Tutti i giorni.
Con lo scotch medico.
E con una dignità che regge. Più o meno.

Ogni tanto funziona tutto, però.
Il sensore sta attaccato. La pompa sta ferma. I valori sono belli e tu per un momento dimentichi che stai portando in giro un’infrastruttura critica incollata alla pancia.

Per un momento.
Poi pizzica.

Nu har ju pennan funkat så himla bra på sistone men nu väntar jag mig att det blir lite turbulent i början iaf ... men ska nog gå. Han kan alltid gå tillbaka till pennan om han inte gillar den oxå

sonen m typ 1 diabetes ska testa pump. Vet ju inget om sånt här. Har fått fyra olika förslag, vi tycker Omnipod (5) verkar bäst? Finns det nån här som har nån erfarenhet... eller det är väl bara att testa antar jag. De är väl rätt dyra oxå så gissar att avdelningen inte skulle förskriva saker som inte funkar

Confirmed: several sharp hammer blows on an old #Omnipod Dash will indeed silence it. Not sure why some of them freak out and alarm continuously after being disconnected and discarded. The disconnect of the old pod is built-in to the pod change process, and they usually go quietly.

It really did take quite a few blows on the adhesive covered circuit board side, against a concrete floor. Quite a tough little device.

Oh. My. Sweet. Baby. Jehosephat.

Insulet/Omnipod have finally come out with a goddamn iPhone app after years of “it’s coming!”

It’s… it’s beautiful. In that it’s exactly the same in every way it’s just I don’t have to slog around another android device just for the damn pod.

Omnipod website (omnipod.com) does this thing where, when the page is loading, and while content is still loading, it blurs the page. Once the contents are done loading, it unblurs.

Extremely crazy for a medical company to be doing something so anti-accessible. I literally cannot browse this site without pain. I have fast internet, but their pages still take long enough to load for this to be a hellish problem.

#T1D I am SO excited today to learn that the #Omnipod 5 with #Dexcom G7 support is finally ready for mass release! The 2hr warmup on the G6 is such a killer for my 9yo. We've been waiting for this announcement for at least a year now.

Y'all!

I am wearing my very first insulin pump!

I feel like a grownup diabetic!

Y'all!

There is an insulin pump in my kitchen, the CGM that will feed it information is connected to my phone, and I have my training appointment booked! This is actually happening!

Anyone who uses #Omnipod have any advice for someone who's never had a pump before?

#T1D #Type1Diabetes @diabetes @t1d

Just a reminder that #Omnipod still hasn't put out their iOS app yet. Still. No app. Does not exist.

FDA Approval happened Halloween of last year. Pretty sure we're going to get new iOS before they drop the app in the US, and I'm having a hard time seeing how that won't require re-authorization from the FDA.

Come the fuck on Omnipod, get your shit together. It's bluetooth and NFC, you can do it.

#wtf #t1d #diabetes #ios #iphone #fda

Serious question for those in the know of the #USA #healthcare #bureaucracy which is the #fda:

The #omnipod 5 G6 insulin pod (pump) was approved for iPhone use on 10/20/23 by the FDA. They STILL have not mainstream released their app for iPhone users.

I know I'm an impatient, biased user, but I'm also failing to understand why this wait and "sometime in 2024" could even be viable... usually when the FDA approves something it has to exist exactly the way it was tested. That means they've had to test it on current iOS operating system, and I'm pretty sure the pods are the pods because it just runs on bluetooth and nfc.

What on earth could be taking this long, and how can it even survive a wait of this length considering that iOS will be different by the time they ever get around to releasing it, causing it to need to get FDA cleared all over again, yeah?

If you know how this works, please boost and share your info. While I'm definitely interested in what's going on with this specific device, I'm more curious how the approval process even works.

Back on the #omnipod after awhile on the t:slim insulin pump. No tubes is so freeing! I just hope I can keep my #diabetes under control using their onboard system.

The tandem t:slim was amazingly accurate.

It’s been weird… For the last three pods I’ve put on, the first day has been 100% in range. But by the third day I’m 70% or less. Anybody else having these issues?

Just had a great day of blood sugars:

Sunday, Mar 19, 100%, In Range, 135, mg/dL, 36.3, Units
#DexCom #OmniPod #T1D #Diabetic

So it seems like there is a problem with the #Omnipod app on Android locking users out of being able to control their insulin pump

The only solution is to throw the pump away, set up a new one and carry around a secondary device to control it

@hellmart This is why I love #DIYLoop with #Omnipod Dash- works with just my iPhone! Awesome to leave the house with just one device.

Trying my first #OmniPod on my outer thigh. We'll see how this goes.
As a kid I couldn't stand having shots done in my legs. 😣

@jettastic @sara agreed. I love my #Omnipod but I know it doesn’t work for everyone.

Going into the 72nd hour with my omnipod dash tonight. It should beep into the final 8 hours sometime around 4:30a.m. Fingers crossed I can get back to sleep!

Do any other dash users aim tl use up that 8hr grace window to get a "free" day every three pods?
