Hi Claire. Sounds like your going through a tough time. Just remember to keep checking your levels. I would echo what others have said call your team tomorrow and get checked out.

Ive been on omnipod for 1 month now. Best thing I ever did. I had a little issue. But even with that I have not changed my viewpoint. What would you like to know.

Thanks for sharing all your experiences. My infection started with my pump injection site. So needless to say I'm a little unnerved by the entire situation. Im washed out. Tired. Time for sleep and relaxation. Good night all. Oh a colleague at work pointed out to me that he thought I was acting...

Thanks. The thing that struck me was how quick it all came about eve with trying to correct. Lesson learnt and I survived to tell the tale.

So I ended up I hospital. Suspected DKA. I wanted to let you all know that if you levels go high and you increase basal and correct bolus. Then after a couple of times you should injection from a needle. I am sure I must have been told this. But evidently it did not stick in my head. So I got...

Agree with above. You need a doctor who knows what they are talking about. I initially was miss diagnosed. Was always meant to be t1 apparently. I ended up seeing a specialist. I was on a mix insulin to start with but had high levels. I ended up with novo rapid and levimir background. I use...

Only had it a week so no time at all but love it.

Wish I could afford it. Maybe a birthday gift in the summer.

Hi Andy. I too have a busy schedule. I feel your pain with monitoring levels. I have been diagnosed 5 yrs now and this week I have been transferred to a pump. All the hard work paid off I guess. #diabetesisapain but only in the beginning. It gets easier. I was much like yourself not wanting...

I have had a hypo tonight 2.8. I usually catch them at 3.8 or so. I also get itchy ears at around 5. Tonight the first I had a feeling something was not right was swimming head. I think you become unaware from my perspective when you need help or end up in hospital. Just a thought from time to...

Hi there. Harris182. Your husband sounds like me, I'm sad to say. I am 5 yrs diagnosed now t1. For a good 3 years I was in denial. Not as long as some but for me far too long. My wife sound much like you caring and wanted to help. It took for her to just stop and not ask for me to have a...

Sking89. I am 5 days into the omnipod and 18months waiting for nhs to approve. In the 18 months I still researched the pumps to make sure it was the one for me. I am so glad I chose it 5 days and i forget it's there. I'm still in the set up phase and insulin absorption is amazing. I was on 1u-...

It's been 6 months and I now am one week into the pump treatment. Live it. My levels have come right down. And the insulin absorption are fascinating. Anyone considering the pump should go for it.

I made a decision and gone with Omnipod just waiting for training.

Ah well at least I get the pump. Thank you all for your input.

Hummmm maybe I was looking at USA one. Typical not reading correctly. Anyway I have gone with Omnipod pump should have it soon. Can't wait

Thank you all very much. With regards to picking the pump the omni pod controller is CGM ready or donut says on the info I got. Once again thank you all.

Where can I buy CGM from. Also does anyone use CGM with Omnipod the website say the PDM is capable. I have searched the net but drawn a blank. I have been accepted for a pump but thought I would try a CGM too. Any ideas.
