Good news, Insulet sets up wide-scale
rollout of Omnipod 5 insulin pump (art-
icle dated June 5 2022): https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/ada-insulet-sets-widescale-rollout-omnipod-5-insulin-pump
I've been working on getting that ever
since then, contacting the Omnipod 5
folks, getting an email that they are
waiting on a prior authorization from
my doctor, contacting my doctor who
tells me he didn't receive a request for ...
... a prior authorization. So, today I con-
tacted the Omnipod 5 folks who said
they sent the request. They re-sent the
request today, so I'll be contacting my
doctor this afternoon to see if I can get
confirmation they've faxed the prior au-
thorization to the Omnipod 5 folks.
I'm in a weird gray zone right now, having
discovered that my medical supplies have
already put me into the donut hole, so my
costs will be a lot higher until I go over an
amount of over $7,000, then they'll go back
down again.
Meanwhile, I only have 8 of my current Om-
nipod Dash pods left (24 days supply), so
I'm trying to get the new Omnipod 5 device
& pods before my current pods run out.
Good news, auto-adjustment of basal dos-
ages based on Dexcom G6 glucose levels
will happen with the new Omnipod 5. I won't
know 'til I try it what the impact of that will
be. Hopefully, a positive impact.
Bad news, going into the donut hole due to
my insulin & Omnipod prices going so high
(doubling or tripling) since last year, & I'm
not sure if Dexcom G6 prices have also in-
creased dramatically. Oh well, having Insul-
initis (Islit, near-total to total loss of ...
... endogenous insulin), the modern techno-
logical approach is a very expensive one (in
the U.S.).

prescription worded as Omnipod 5/G6 Intro Kit,
& I'll call Medcart Pharmacy (Albertsons) Mon-
day to check to make certain they've received
both prescriptions.
It appears wording is critical & since I only was
informed yesterday what the name of the new
pods and the name for the Omnipod 5/G6 Intro
Kit (Omnipod 5 controller + 11 Omnipod 5/G6
pods) are, well then, live & learn. I would say as
a sidenote, all of this should have been identified ...
... clearly by the Omnipod 5 folks at their web-
site where they announced a widespread sup-
posed availability of the new devices/pods, but
only via struggle/inaccurate information given
to me multiple times by multiple people have I
at last broken through the fog & appear to have ...
... gotten accurate information from the unknown
moon near the unknown planet somewhere in the
Andromeda galaxy. I'll follow this post up presum-
ing when I check with them Monday I get final con-
firmation, prices, & estimated delivery dates (fingers
crossed, waving magic wand, asking for help from
magic fairies, wish me the best).
---
Sidenote: In the past, Omnipod has said that the
Omnipod 5 would work with the Freestyle Libre
(not sure but I think the latest Freestyle Libre has
been FDA approved & is called the ...
... Freestyle Libre 3, but I'm unsure if that is avail-
able in the U.S. yet or if Omnipod has any plans
to make the Omnipod 5 work with any of the Free-
style Libre CGMs. It would be nice if they did as
the latest Freestyle Libre is purported to be highly
advanced / accurate & less expensive than the
Dexcom G6.

Late today I called the previously men-
tioned phone# & their answering machine
said "Medcart Pharmacy". When I talked
to someone, they said "Medcart Pharmacy"
is a division of "Safeway / Albertsons" &
they didn't show having received the re-
quest for an Omnipod 5.
They suggested I call back tomorrow, so
onward through the fog, the Omnipod 5
adventure / mystery still transpiring. I see
my doctor tomorrow, so I'll call Medcart
before going to see him to try to ascer-
tain what's going on.

NIGHTMARE / DISASTER !!! Ever feel like you're
talking to multiple people who speak a foreign
language & going through multiple interpreters
& can't get a new state-of-the-art insulin pump
called an Omnipod 5? I do. My doc tried to do
what Albertson said, calling a prescription in, &
was told they are backordered & don't know
when they can ship it.
So, I called the Omnipod 5 folks & at one point
was told by someone at Humana they had *not*
approved prior authorization. Yikes, a few days
ago I was told they had approved that. So I don't
know what unidentified supposedly intelligent
creatures are involved, but this is absolutely ludi-
crous what's going on.
I still have someone at Omnipod 5 headquarters
on the phone right now, having no idea what they
are doing as this isn't happening on one of the 5
moons of Pluto, it's happening on an unknown
moon of an unknown planet in the Andromeda
galaxy. It's CRAZY.
My Omnipod 5 person says she's got a rep contact-
ing Albertsons & she's contacting the Humana folks
to see if one of them can get the Omnipod 5 (during
this phone call I was told it's called an Omnipod 5 /
G6 kit, still don't know what pods that comes with or
how many pods that comes with but it's an ...
... introductory kit so I'd have to try to reinstitute the
90 day pod supply at the end of however long the
Omnipod 5 / G6 kit lasts). Recently, she hasn't men-
tioned "prior authorization", something I spent weeks
trying to get taken care of & was told that had been
taken care of a few days ago.
Someone at Humana says the Omnipod 5 / G6 kit
requires no prior authorization, so all of that prior
authorization that my doctor & Omnipod 5 folks &
Human supposedly went through, the person today
says none of that was necessary.
Meanwhile, I've learned the Omnipod 5 / G6 kit includes
10 pods (still don't know what they're called) and 1 extra
pod (a 33 day supply), so one I'm up and running when/
if I get it, I'll have to place an order for 30 pods (what
they're called, I don't know). The latest info is that Albert-
sons is waiting for a prescription from my doctor. Why?
I don't know.
When they receive it they will contact me (supposedly).
So, I'll call my doctor & Albertsons tomorrow to see if
I can get the Omnipod 5 / G6 kit (estimated cost, slightly
over $100 maybe, not sure about that). Stay tuned for
what has turned out to be the most hilarious longest
episode of Seinfeld ever, don't know when (if ever) it
will end. )-;
Not sure if I'm in tears or dying of laughter, this has been
either the most horrendous or the funniest misadventure
I've ever been involved with. Let's just say it's been both.

INSULINITIS (ISLIT)
New SUPERIOR clarifying name for near-
total to total loss of endogenous insulin https://prohuman.net/pix2/new_superior_clarifying_name_is_INSULINITIS.jpg
The overwhelming majority of Islit caused
by autoimmune attacks on pancreatic beta
cells (Insulitis Islit) but there are
o 15 specific types of rapid onset Islit, a
rare condition (only present in < one-half
of 1% of Americans & in a much lower rate
in most of the world), when present is typ-
ically diagnosed at age under 30
(50% at age < 18, 20% at age 19 to 29)
o 1 slow onset specific type, Latent Auto-
immune Islit, frequency unknown but per
a recent report, misdiagnosed as Cellosis
(new clarifying name for type 2 diabetes)
almost 40% of the time due to slow onset
& occurrence typically at age over 30
Old outdated anachronistic name for Islit is
type 1 diabetes, confusing in that diabetes
without clarifier is often used to describe this
& the other 6 Disparate High Glucose Con-
ditions (DHGCs).
That makes figuring out which DHGC is actu-
ally being referred to (& it can be any 1, some,
or all of them when diabetes or diabetic word
used without clarifier) confusing / difficult: https://prohuman.net/pix2/diabetesdiabeticguessinggame.jpg https://prohuman.net/pix2/diabetesdiabeticconfusion.jpg https://prohuman.net/pix2/diabetesdiabeticendingthemisunderstanding.jpg
Recent estimate that 20 million have Islit in the
world, 1 in 394 (2.583/10ths of 1%), less than
5% of the almost 470 million in the world who
have any of the 7 DHGCs, 95% having Cellosis
(see below for causalities): https://groups.google.com/g/misc.health.diabetes/c/58ZoHZEZ51w/m/EBejqoJQAQAJ
Notably, one's relatives and one's birthplace
dramatically impact one's risk of getting the
Insulitis-caused Islit, as listed in details of all
15 specific types of rapid-onset Islit & the sole
specific type of slow onset Latent Autoimmune
Islit at https://groups.google.com/g/misc.health.diabetes/c/aOsrugeqYqs/m/MlI8I6PzAAAJ

o Preventable Cellosis is the only specific
type of Disparate High Glucose Condition
that is preventable & reversible (in many,
sometimes it's called type 2 diabetes, often
confusingly called diabetes with no clarifier)
Risk for Preventable Cellosis, Hypertension,
& Cardiovascular Disease increases as one's
weight increases but BMI risk increases at
lower BMI levels in non-white individuals: https://prohuman.net/pix2/BMI-WaistCircumference-Cellosis&Hypertension&CardiovascularDisease-Risk.jpg
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-05-bmi-offs-obesity-diabetes-non-white.html
o PreCellosis (often confusingly called predia-
betes with no clarifier) is the oft-times preven-
table & reversible Cellosis precondition that all-
too-often the overwhelming majority having it
are unaware they have it (almost 3 times more
have PreCellosis than have Cellosis).
o 20 specific types of Cellosis, unpreventable
& nonreversible (thus far, sometimes called
type 2 diabetes, all-too-often confusingly called
diabetes with no clarifier)
Per the following article, 5.3% with Cellosis
used exogenous insulin in 2019. https://www.bloomberg.com/press-releases/2019-12-13/tandem-diabetes-care-announces-fda-clearance-of-the-t-slim-x2-insulin-pump-with-control-iq-advanced-hybrid-closed-loop

Diminosis, Ohiglucons), all 7 DHGCs fully des-

Medcart Pharmacy still has not received the
prescription for the Omnipod 5 / G6 Intro Kit.
I've called my doctor & once again was told
they will send that prescription to Medcart
Pharmacy. I asked them to call me back ...
... when that is done. If I don't hear from them
by 4:00 pm today, I'll call them again. I'd offer
an opinion on this confusion caused by my
old Humana Pharmacy provider changing its
name & directing Omnipod 5 / G6 Intro Kit &
pod supplies to Albertsons (Medcart Pharmacy), ...
... but needless to say, right now, F-O-C-U-S by
me is required, along with P-E-R-S-I-S-T-E-N-C-E
as the plethora of people involved in this pro-
cess have thus far fallen far short of the mark,
a grade of 'F', but hey, I'll bet that once I jump

If someone says there are 'too many cooks
in the kitchen,' that means there are too many
people working together on something, which
may result in the final product being negatively
affected.
In this particular case, it has resulted in an on-
going delay in a needlessly complex process,
& it's thus far unknown when or if the delay
problems will come to an end.

Follow-up 9:
While I'm on hold with the Omnipod 5 folks,
I'll share with you what I discovered this
morning.
My doctor's office says they found out that
Humana Pharmacy (now called CenterWell
Pharmacy) can deliver the Omnipod 5 / G6
kit sooner than Medcart Pharmacy. I called
CenterWell Pharmacy & am still in shock
over what they told me:
Omnipod 5 NOT COVERED by my Humana
Gold health insurance ~~!!!~~
My out-of-pocket cost for the Omnipod 5 /
G6 Intro Kit would be over $4,000 !!!
So, I'm calling Omnipod 5 folks to see what
they have to say about this (I'm on a 24 min-
ute hold).
If you are on the laughing about this side, I'd
say this is an Emmy-award winning episode
of Seinfeld which has lasted 3 hours.
If you are on the despair & disappointment &
shocked side, I'd say this has been an utter
& total DISASTER, the worst nightmare imag-
inable (well, of course, I could imagine worse,
but suffice to say this is among them).
CenterWell Pharmacy suggesed I check with
the Omnipod 5 folks to see if they can provide
any financial help, so that's why I'm on hold
with them & also, I'm talking to them to lodge
a major, what should I call it, information shar-
ing / complaint about this experience.
Who in their right mind would upgrade an in-
sulin pump and NOT have it covered by any
health insurance entity even though their
current version of their insulin pump is fully
covered? No one.
Location, it's not in the farthest away galaxy,
it's in an entirely separate universe, proving
that multiverse theories, at least one of them,
are true, though it's unfortunately likely that
the life in the universe I'm in contact with is
of a nature apart from what we'd consider
to be intelligent.
Been on hold for 24 minutes, still waiting.
Checking back to the original article that
stated Insulet sets up wide-scale rollout
of Omnipod 5 insulin pump (article dated
June 5 2022):
***/\ https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/ada-insulet-sets-widescale-rollout-omnipod-5-insulin-pump ***/\
No, no mention of any problems with insur-
ance coverage in that article. No mention
of any insurance coverage issues anywhere
in this universe and not by anyone I've spo-
ken to at my doctor's office, at Omnipod 5,
or at CenterWell Pharmacy, not until today.
So, after being on hold for 34 minutes, a
representative from product support called
me. He said that the entire Omnipod 5 re-
order department is closed July 4th to July
6th, but he will have them call me at 9 AM
tomorrow.
So, I'll update this message after talking
with them tomorrow. He mentioned that
they may appeal the CenterWell Pharmacy
non-coverage but I have no idea how long
that will take & I'm on the verge of being
forced to stick with the current Omnipod
as I'm down to my last 4 pods.
