If you use an OmniPod by Insulet, there is important information out about blood glucose monitoring strips. For a while now there’s been quite some confusion about which strips can be used in the PDM (personal diabetes manager), which doubles as a blood glucose meter. The old Freestyle strips that were FDA approved for use with the OmniPod were becoming less and less available and the new Freestyle strips with ZipWik were not yet approved.
Now the FDA has approved the Freestyle strips with ZipWik for use with the OmniPod, so hopefully the confusion and fear of running out of strips is behind us. Please visit the OmniPod website for more information.
