I can’t imagine what it would be like with tubing attached to me! Currently Loop only supports the older “Eros” version of Omnipod, Dash is not supported. I just got off the phone with Insulet and not only are they going to renew my warranty for the current PDM system I use now, but they are doing an appeal with my insurance company to approve the new OmniPod DASH system. Every time I change my batteries, it makes me reset the clock and deactivate my pod when it isn’t even time to. I’m not a tech person but the Bluetooth seems to slightly increase the range of the PDM connecting to the pod. Insulet/Omnipod is working with Tidepool Loop and has a Horizon loop system coming. When you received your Omnipod Dash, did someone help you set it up or did you just learn yourself? Since the PDM previously used radio frequency as its communication source it was unable to connect to close loop system technologies. @hanstan HAHA, yes, I totally get that. Someone mentioned that if you want to do DIY looping you would need to use the old pods/pdm. It is touchscreen and more user friendly. She started with the old system and moved to the DASH several weeks ago. The system itself works just the same as the old one, so you should have no worries there. I have missed it for sure. The current pods will not work with the NEW Omnipod DASH system. And I foresee the RF and EMF’s getting stronger with each new roll out . WRITTEN BY Todd Boudreaux, POSTED 12/04/19, UPDATED 12 I think I’ll love the new Omnipod Dash system because having touchscreen and using bluetooth to get a connection or sync is so much better. It does need to be recharged quite often but easy enough to do, like you would with your phone. I think I will have to get used to using a smaller glucose meter, but after working with it all a couple of times, I should get the hang of it! I appreciate it so much. --(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 21, 2020-- Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD) ( … 95 ($0.50/Count) I'm Rachel - a mom with a full time 9-5 and blog on the side.

I called my endo the moment I found out….turns out she’s not one of the Endo’s that has access to this soft launch. I like that it Bluetooth’s with your meter to give you more accurate readings and even uploads it (when connected to WiFi) to an app where your endocrinologist can see your levels, but then again carrying a lot of stuff might become annoying. looks like i have to wait until jan/feb.
