Hi everyone!! Today I give you a quick run down/tour of the Omnipod DASH PDM and how the different features and functions operate. It is a little bit different than the old PDM in several different aspects, and I share a few of those aspects in today’s video. Check out Sugar Medical if you like the blue silicone case that I have protecting my PDM!! :)

God Bless,
Maddie 🦋
Thank you. We actually are moving to Dash from omnipod 5. Thank you for the tour and the comments along the way especially about the basal rates.
Thanks for the tour, I can't wait to get my soon
You’re very welcome!! I love my dash. It’s a great insulin pump!! :)
This video was very helpful 😊 thank you! ❤️
You’re very welcome!! Glad you enjoyed the video!! ☺️
Thank you so much for pdm tour 🙏
You’re very welcome 😊
Thanks for the video Maddie. Yours has been more thorough than others I’ve watched but still leaves me with a couple questions! Were you ever on the original OmniPod system?
Hi Jill. I was not on the original Omnipod system. I was only on the dash. :)
Ty for your help Maddie!
God bless you and yours. Hope you and yours are well and safe
Thank you this help me learn so much more
😊
best tour vid :)
Thank you so much!!
I'm getting a pdm new one can't wait get my new one
It’s always nice to have brand new diabetes supplies...it is just like Christmas!! :)
I still have the old PDM and it's quite bulky for me to carry round. I'd rather be able to use my own phone with it installed.....soon they will change them over hopefully! Nice video thankyou 😁👍🏻
Same here. I can’t wait to be able to bolus from my phone!! Thank you for watching!! :)
Hi Maddie, hope you are doing great. I love all your videos very informative. Finally we got the omnipod dash for my 12 yr old son. It is our first time using pump. He was on MDI from the day one. Questions, is it safe to ride the roller coaster and other park ride while wearing omnipod. Is it possible that pod release dangerous amount of insulin while ridding due to the g force? I would greatly appreciate your help. Stay safe.
I have not gone on any amusement park ride while I was on the Omnipod. If you are not sure if it would dispense insulin on accident, my best suggestion would be to suspend the basal insulin temporarily while your son is riding. That way it would prevent any extra insulin from being infused into the site.
I have t1d too!
Thanks for sharing and being a part of the T1D community! :)
I went with the t slim x2 mainly because of the cgm integration I thought hard about the omnipod but decided against it because of the pdm I know me I will constantly forget it other then that I have nothing against the omnipod
Very good point!! Thank you for sharing!!
Good video thankyou.
Can the pdm link up with freestyle libre?
Adhesive.. reliable, and in heat? Comes off at all?
Satisfied with omnipod but do you notice any insulin delivery issues with it not giving as much as maybe you indicated leaving you high or the other way too much insulin goj g low, any issues? Thanks take care
I do not believe the PDM can link to the freestyle libre. Throughout the whole year, I have used the Omnipod DASH, I have not noticed any problems with the adhesive. I definitely had an issue back a few months ago before the DASH got a software upgrade. I would constantly have high blood sugars. I do believe at one point I was not getting enough insulin at one point. But now, this problem seems to be solved!! Thank you for watching! :)
What is the "pain level" having the pod inserted compared to the Dexcom, presuming both going in at the same body part? Thanks.
The pain level to me is about the same unless I hit a more muscular area! I hope this helps answer your question!
i am trying this
Best of luck to you Janie!
I just got the Omni pod dash a few days ago but my doctors kept the reverse correction feature should I bring this up since I’m 25 and not super sensitive..
I would definitely talk to them about taking it off. I do not use a reverse correction as to me it is not helpful for helping with lower blood sugars.
Thanks for the great video. This let me see that I want absolutely nothing to do with this or any other pump. It looks like more work than it's worth. I'll just stick to shooting up R and N like normal!
I’m glad the video was helpful for you to make the best decision for your health and diabetes journey!!
Hey Maddie, I am currently getting the Omnipod Dash, with the hope of transitioning into the Omnipod Horizon when it comes out. How do you feel about the Omnipod closed loop system that we're going into? Also, now that I'm with the G6 and Omnipod, I'm worried about the transition. I appreciate your video because it's helping me learning about the Dash before I get it. How do you feel about it now? Have you changed insulin pumps or are you still with the Dash? I'm just trying to get an idea of how I will like being on the Dash. Thank you.
Hi Miguel!! I am still on the DASH!! it is not too bad. the only thing is that I have had 5 PDM replacements within the entire year that I have been on the DASH. not ideal but I am happy with the tubeless pump that allows me to make diabetes more convenient!! I am super excited for horizon and hope that it will be similar to Tandem’s control IQ
I just dont see any advantage. The PDM on the old one is robust...also is there a widget for Dexcom to show on the PDM
Do you Have To change the pod every 2 days? If it hold 200u and and that 200u will last me 4 days based on current ratios, is it still going to force me to change or stop working after 2 days?
You have to change it every 3 days. Omnipod will let you have the pod on for approximately 72 hours with an 8 hour grace period meaning you can only wear it as long as 80 hours.
@@MaddieNielsen I change mime every 2 days
@@minechez that is perfectly okay too! 😊
How did you know what size phone case to get?
Hi Mike! I bought this case from a company called Sugar Medical. They make sure it is the right size to fit the Omnipod DASH! I hope this helps! :)
I just got one today but I don’t have any food library setting unfortunately
Wow. I always had the food library setting. Is it the dash or the regular original pdm from Omnipod? 😊
@@MaddieNielsen It’s a dash but maybe there s no food library setting because of where I live, they might have differents systems depending on countries, I’m based in Switzerland
Ah yes. I’m from the United States. That may be why! 😀
Does anyone understand why there is a camera on the pdm?
No idea! They said it was a fake camera
How do you bolus multiple foods for one meal? My trainer forgot to show me andI forgot to ask.
Hi Abby! Are you referring to the custom meal option on the DASH?
@@MaddieNielsen is there a way to add multiple foods from the library to your carb count?
@@abbypadilla4949 yes you should be able to add multiple foods to the bolus, especially if you are taking multiple foods from the food library 😊
@@MaddieNielsen can you teach me how to do it?
@@abbypadilla4949 sure do you have an Instagram?
Are the pdms an old phone I ask cause they look like old Samsung phones
They are basically like a cheap Samsung phone but they are not a cellphone. I believe the Nuu brand is made through Samsung
We as a community need to start holding these companies like Omni pod to a higher standard. I mean this is just pathetic, this is 2010s technology. We’re in 2021, we have self driving cars and rockets, but I have to rely on a 2010 Samsung to control my blood sugar? We have the technology to make living with diabetes a whole hell of a lot easier but we never see it.
I like the way the device is going...I'm using the UST400. But as a diabetic if you drop this device and break it, that means you lose your ability to control your insulin. I don't even want to think about the turn around time and cost to get it replaced. With the dexcom if I lose any piece of it--I have replacements (smart devices) I can use immediately. With my PDM I don't and that's scary.
Thus I would like for the PDMs to go to something I can control on a smart device. However, that brings up other issues I don't want to think about.
Very well put!! Thank you for sharing!! There are most certainly pros and cons to every device/diabetes technology out there!!
If you have a spare meter and an insulin-pen around you'll be fine.
Nice video, too much work. I think insulin pen injections are much easier and less stressful
Thank you! There are definitely pros and cons to doing both pumping and injections! :)
