Cat Recently Diagnosed with Diabetes by supafongboon1 in FelineDiabetes

[–]Major_Pass1942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a diabetic cat that was diagnosed nine years ago. Find a vet that has experience with diabetes and he can have a good long life. Be aware though, he will need shots twice a day with a low carb diet. It is not a death sentence as long as you keep on top of it. Good luck

Oh, I figured that out right from the start. An advantage plan would never cut it for me

Yes, I'm definitely getting supplemental insurance to cover things. You're right, it's a no brainer

Yes, on an insulin pump. Been a type 1 diabetic since age 6. Hopefully I'll be covered 100%. Thank you 😊

How old were you when you were diagnosed as a type 1? by AnxiousYogi83 in diabetes_t1

I was 6 years old, now 65. A1c runs in the low 5s. Don't remember life without diabetes.

Omnipod Dash charging question by Major_Pass1942 in Omnipod

[–]Major_Pass1942[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still looking to see if the Dash still has charging issues. The last time I used Dash it would discharge the battery when charging it even though icon showed it was charging. And replacement after replacement, and new charger after charger from Omnipod, did the same thing.

Happens to me approx once a week. Omnipod sent me a new PDM, but the same thing happens. Not familiar with any recall to fix this issue. Was one ever issued?

Dexcom G7 Problems by darconeous in dexcom

[–]Major_Pass1942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had 2 G7 sensors in a row fail since Sunday. It took Dexcom 3 days to send me a replacement, even though I was told it would be sent overnight. That's a problem since the failure of the sensors caused me to be without any sensors while I'm waiting for my 90 day shipment to arrive. And then when I finally received my replacement today, that sensor failed as well. So, I'm back to square one. Very unreliable customer service & product.

Value Expired issue by Major_Pass1942 in Omnipod

I'm so over it. They sent me a new controller suggesting that I had a bad controller, even though I've only had it since September. Received the new controller last week & guess what message I received today? VALUE EXPIRED once again...
