Despite Fiasp not being tested and approved by Insulet my son's consultant gave us approval to continue using Fiasp prior to starting on the Omnipod 5. It's been about 4 weeks now. We were told it can take a couple of weeks before it starts to really perform. We had to set it up with our...

My son is current on Dexcom 6 and Omnipod Eros. He will be skipping Dash and moving to Omnipod 5 late August so will be able to comment but not for a few months yet. Will be interested in hearing from anyone else who has recently moved/moving to that combo. Also been advised by diabetic nurse...

Are you on the Omnipod Freestyle or the newer Omnipod Dash? My son is on the Freestyle and selecting suspend insulin requires you to manually resume it. What I have found better is using the temp basal option as you can set it to 0% for a select amount of time and it will resume once your...

Ok, touchscreen keyboard would be nice, certainly more likely to set up meals as we found the current PDM to slow to type with.

I would be really interested in your feedback on the Dash. I am going to ask about the chances of upgrading the PDM at my sons next clinic appointment in March. He has been on the Omnipod for just short of five years now. Hoping for some additional features such as more then 7 basal settings.

We have long acting insulin as backup and draw the quick acting insulin from the syringes that fit my sons pens. The biggest issue we have is that someone at the GP seems to think its a good idea to remove items from prescription just because we don't order it on a regular basis.

Picked up my order yesterday. I was concerned that my boy was on his last libre and not feeling confident having talked to Asda pharmacy Friday, so although more expensive I ordered direct from Abbotts which I haven't done in a long time since I waited 4 weeks for them to deliver. Shortly...

Thanks for the feedback, have become rather reliant on it. Hopefully will not have to wait to long.

Is anyone having a slower delivery time on the Freestyle Libre from their local pharmacy at the moment? Ordered two on Monday from my local Asda and normally they have arrived within two days. Checked with the pharmacy today and on their system they are apparently still showing as processing.

I might be wrong but I don't think Absxx was talking about a traditional muffin rather a muffin made up of egg, tomato and ham which would be low carb. I also see no reference to orange juice rather an orange as a snack. A small banana ie 100grams is supposed to be about 23g but possible due...

I have gone back to ASDA, they set their original price at £44 Nationwide before Superdrug started provided them. The price hasn't changed so I have gone back to ASDA and ordered two.

Local ASDA have confirmed that they are £44 so no price change since they started selling them. Two ordered.

Wife walked into local Superdrug this morning and they quoted her £42 per sensor excluding VAT but when the cashier rang it up on the till it jump to £49.95, pharmacist suggested they have put the price up again due to high demand. As my wife said you have had high demand due to being the...

How many carbs would you normally eat for 10 units of bolus in the afternoon/evening? Might be time to treat yourself to some ice cream or chocolate. Not sure why you would drink lots of water?

As I understand it Superdrug have recently changed the price to £40 from £35, still the best place for me to purchase it as far as I am aware.

My son is in his third year using the Omnipod and the last year pod problems seem a lot higher then the first couple of years. I have wondered if they have changed factory or changed materials during this time. When I recently reported several pod screamers (Just before they left Ypsomed) the...

Cheers, reading about your experience is the reason I have started to look into it. There are so many different options out there at the moment that is difficult to decide which is best but I guess that is what happens when online communities get on with it and start working on their own solutions.

Cheers, that sounds like that might be the better options rather then waiting for a decent discount on a new one.

I was going to go for the blucon but after a bit more research decided to go with the miaomiao and a week after ordering it arrived. We have set it up using the Glimp software as we have used that software before and the suppliers of miaomiao provide instuctions on settting up on their website...
