Has a near terrifying experience today…:. Climbed down a pilot ladder from a bulk carrier, got into the cabin of the pilot boat and started reaching for my omnipod 5 controller which I was certain was in my back pocket. But it wasn’t. My heart nearly stopped, luckily I felt around and it had just fallen out in the seat after I sat down…. But it was a wakeup call that I need to carry a spare one with me. If anyone had one that they want to sell, loan, trade for, whatever, it’d lend a lot of piece of mind

If you have a valid current prescription on file with Insulet, they will sell you a spare directly for only a couple hundred bucks.
