  My favorite story about best buy is in the late 90’s early 2000’s, a family member gifted me a $20 gift card to best buy, which unbeknownst to them, I had stopped shopping at because it got too expensive and I started buying from newegg instead. Anyway, I walk in and am thinking 'well I don’t really need anything big right now, likens full PC, laptop, etc. Maybe I’ll just get a DVD’s or something. Even with a $20 gift card, Best buy prices were so marked up, they were either still more expensive, or the same price as other stores. I think other stored were selling DVD’s at like $15 (none new-releases) and best buy was $35. I’m shocked they’re still around to be honest.

  Yo, from one type 1 to another, get yourself some xdrip to replace the dexcom app, its miles ahead and more configurable.

  github.com/NightscoutFoundation/xDrip

  And depending on which omnipod you got, and how technical you are, check out AndroidAPS if you want an open source closed-loop solution.

  androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

  If you got the omnipod dash you can use it directly with AndroidAPS via Bluetooth.

  I use both of these with dexcom G6 and an accu-chek Bluetooth insulin pump, and its amazing vs the commercial solutions.
