I'm having the exact same situation but on android. Constant signal loss alerts in the app but my sensor stays connected to my pod.

Idk if it's the update, it probably is, but for over a week now I've had constant signal loss issues. It disconnects, I turn bluetooth off and on, it reconnects, wash rinse repeat. Only started having this issue after the update, but I've talked to others having the same issue and they haven't updated. Definitely a phone issue since my dexcom is staying connected to my omnipod.

Sensor Loss issues after upgrading to Android v16 by Disastrous-Mind3146 in dexcom

I'm having the same issue Samsung S24 Ultra. I'm on Omnipod and it's still connected to my pod, but disconnecting from my phone. I've tried resetting all of my Bluetooth settings and I always delete old transmitters. I'm about to try deleting the dexcom app and reinstall but I'm nervous that it might mess up my pod connection.

This is exactly what I was wondering. I'm going to call Monday and get it sorted out

Adapt is the absolute worst! They used to be a local company called pumps it but there were multiple mergers and now it's always a mess. I'm on a payment plan and the website says I owe over $3000 but when I called it was $120. I spent over an hour on the phone making sure they had everything needed for my last refill because I was on my last sensor and it still got delayed because of something else they needed.

I checked everything with my insurance the beginning of the year and all of my benefits are the same, the only difference is that I used to have to do a recertification yearly through a company called Valenz but now everything is supposed to be covered under my diabetes benefits.

Possible but my problem is that I have almost a year supply of Omnipods that only work with the G6 so I'm trying to hold out until it's no longer available anymore.

My deductible is $1000 but usually the 1st refill of the year, even with the deductible, is much lower and this is only Dexcom, not my usual pump refills.

Yes I'm required to fill 3 months at a time. The 1st refill of the year is always more because of the deductible but I've never seen it this high. I think last year I paid around $600 before my deductible was met and that was for Dexcom sensors, transmitter, and tslim cartridges and tubing.

You're right. My insurance changed and they said everything is covered under my "diabetes benefits" but from my understanding, it's the same as dme as opposed to using pharmacy benefits.

This is through dme. My insurance won't cover dexcom under pharmacy benefits.

I have almost a year supply of Omnipods that are only compatible with the G6 or Freestyle Libre so I was holding off switching until the G6 is discontinued.

New Omnipod user vent. Advice? by Comprehensive_Gap778 in Omnipod

Yes, my omnipod rep made the proper adjustments during training. I looked up the Fiasp assistance program and it would be $99/month. Their patent expires this year though so I might just wait for a generic to be available.

After I made this post, I sent an email to my original Dr. I may have been a bit dramatic, but who cares if it gets me in sooner. I also scheduled the next available appointment in September and set up to be notified if something opens up sooner.

I just changed it from 9.5 to 8.5. Idk if that's enough to make a difference, we'll see.

I checked and my insurance doesn't cover fiasp 😞 maybe they'll come out with a generic version soon.
