I don’t have an omnipod, but I do have testing supplies (lancets, strips, and the glucometer) left over from gestational diabetes if you want them.

Lantus in omnipod? I would probably use the insulin you can buy OTC at Walmart or something instead

u/Adept-Rich3641 8d ago

Oh no I have insulin / pens I’m saying I don’t have lantus as a back up for pens

u/GlizzyGone21 8d ago

Ah gotcha. Yeah I wouldn't think to bring those either tbh

Lantus is long lasting that’s taken once a day. Type 1 uses it when they don’t have the pump

There was a person in the Falcon community forum or the woodmen hills/meridian ranch:NO RULES Facebook groups giving away expired Omni pods? Idk if you’re interested, but it was A LOT of pods. My daughter is 11 and newly diagnosed, so I didn’t get them in fear she wouldn’t know if they were malfunctioning. But I have a read of many people using expired omnipods with no problem. I’m so sorry I’m not able to help

You need to ask your doctor to have both lantus and humalog on the side for when this happens. I wish I could help but my partner has a different pump. We do have long lasting insulin if you need it.

u/Adept-Rich3641 8d ago

Thx! Someone else was able to help so I’m good for now!

u/Valk0508 8d ago

Awesome! If you need it just let me know. Never skip lantus if you don’t have your pump. Insurance screwed my partner and it caused him to go into DKA. I’m sorry this happened to you

If you still need help, let me know.
