I’m pretty sure what they told you is not true.

They do not have two different makes of pods. They do not sell enough in Canada for it to be worth the extra manufacturing cost.

Insulin units are insulin units. The pods deliver the same units. The only difference is the BG stuff, and the calculations for BG corrections, which is entirely on the PDM.

But this would actually be very easy to prove…

Anonymous Canadian, what would you say to a pod swap? What do you think, something like 2 U.S. pods for 2 Canadian pods? I am game if you are.
