Mine is OK today but last week a message appeared on the app saying next time I change my libre sensor 2 my readings will automatically update every minute.

My problems are keeping them on me when it's hot outside, they just melt off me. Used skin tac and omnipod plasters which helped somewhat when I was on Rhodes last month. I emailed insulet pleading that they increase the stickiness as I'm sure lots of people experience this but no response. Soz...

I keep mine religiously in the same place. Out of house in the same pocket of my handbag, at work next to my PC, at home kitchen window ledge. Just through experience this helped me

Thanks, I was just a bit unsure as to whether I still input blood glucose level and carb amount or simply just put in carbs but it makes sense for both.

Hiya, this might be a silly question. I missed the section of training if you want to snack between meals when using omnipod. Do you just follow the same rules as when having a meal? Thanks in advance.

Hi Nannynet, I was exactly the same, followed all the guidelines, all the rules and could never find the correct basal rates, I was lucky to have 2 days of consistency. I don't know if you are female or what stage in your life you are but I'm 54 and started the pump at 52, I believe that I...

Hiya, yes, you can always ask its just whether or not they think it will be beneficial to you to change

No history in the family of type 1, diagnosed at 21 after 3 extremely bad tonsillitis illness in 6 months and a bad boyfriend break up. Latterly myself and 2 of my 3 sisters all have thyroid problems, autoimmune gene must be somewhere in our make up but who knows? X

A gift for mother's day from my son, question is how many carbs? Lol..... it say 'my wee maw' for the non Scottish translation is 'my small Mum' xxx

Thank you for this, interesting but doesn't apply for me

After I have changed a pod, following the correct process, my PDM bleeps for no reason, normally 2 or 3 times over a few hours. It's annoying but not crucial. Anyone any ideas or experience of this? Thanks

I am exactly the same, 21 months in!

Hiya, just in case I thought I'd mention that boots do tubs of glucose lift tabs, containing 50 tabs for £3.75.

I was 21 when diagnosed, so 32 years now. Some days it's no bother & I just get on with it, other days with curve balls I could scream in frustration. Trying to maintain a mind set of OK it's been a tough day but hopefully tomorrow will better.

Hi, I was only making a suggestion in line with consultant & DSN guidance given to me as a starting point for poster. I did suggest speaking to their own team.

Hiya, I hope you beginning to feel better now & please try & get over your embarrassment, it's happened but you can learn from it. You should eat after 20-30 mins after taking the Novorapid to give it time to get in to your system to balance out the carbohydrates you eat. It could be your basal...

I also has problems with evening exercise & hypos. After a discussion with my consultant aswell as reducing basal by 80% I also 1/2 my bolus doseage for my teatime meal. Its achieved much better results. If I exercise in the morning I get away with 50% reduction in basal.

I carb count everything on my plate but to do so it's essential to have the tools to do so. I use the carb and cal app, you can also buy it in book form from amazon. It makes life much easier for me to keep within range. Best of luck

Hi, so sorry that you are having a terrible time. You should see your GP about the stress, if you live in Scotland there is a lot of mental health self help/self referral information on NHS inform website. I would speak to your diabetic team ASAP about increasing your insulin during this...

This also can happen to me. What has helped me but not always is to leave the old pod in place for at least an hour after the change. I'm reluctant to try a small bolus or temporary basal as the rise is inconsistent.
