No, he does not have the same issue. He has a stash of old pods like me. So he offered to send them to me if my situation does not resolve!
So with my stash and his stash, there are about 20 months worth of old pods to use.

If you do get around to this, I’d be curious what sort of info you include in your appeal. My current insurance has only ever covered Humalog, and I never thought to fight them on it. But since Novolog is supposed to work better for pumps, I’d be interested in maybe joining that fight for myself.
Insurance is exhausting. I’m sorry you’re dealing with all this junk!

I will let you know. I will get to it at some point. Just don’t have the energy to be annoyed by them any more right now!

@Eric, I also have a large stash of Eros pods if you need them. I have 2 RileyLinks but I’m not sure if they are in working order as I’ve not used them in more than a year. Of course, the Eros pods are probably all expired now but I’ve used expired pods without any issue.

Hi @Trying,
I would love a spare RileyLink!
I got my rechargeable one working. I am keeping it plugged in all the time now! 
And don’t throw the pods away! Yes, I might need them!
I am currently on my 3rd expired pod. So far they have all worked great!
The one thing I had to get used to is that it takes longer for the commands to get translated from phone to RileyLink to pod, and then the response back the other way. I do a bolus and have to wait, and after a few moments it finally comes back to my phone showing that it is working.
Anyway, I would love a spare RileyLink, and might need the pods. I have 8 months, but that’s all I have.
Thanks!

I think between everyone here, you’ll have years worth of Eros PODS.

Yes, the pods are in their original box under my desk! Will save them. Just checked the RileyLinks. I don’t think they are working. One is cracked, and neither will charge 
I had forgotten the time delay in communicating via the link. I hated carrying around the extra device, tiny as it was!

If you don’t mind, can you send me one of the RileyLinks? I wouldn’t mind messing with it and trying to fix it.
No harm in trying. If it’s broken, and I am unable to fix it, it will still be broken.
The rechargeable ones have an internal battery which I may be able to get a new one. And I’d like to try and switch it over to use normal replaceable batteries.

Sure, dm me where to send it.

@Eric I think there’s a Facebook group for folks with Riley or Orange links. You may want to look that/those up. There’s also getrileylink.org for other references.

I looked there. They are selling the orange ones for $185.
