Currently on a saline trial with the OmniPod as need to switch from my animas vibe.
One of the issues I have noted during this trial is the basal rate increments are larger compared to the animas and so I cannot fine tune my basal rate to the same extent as the animas.
Example;
On animas I have a basal of 1.025u/hr for 3 hours in the morning. Options are either 1.0 or 1.05 on the OmniPod.
This may be a minor thing but I’m worried that this change will detriment my control, or is it just a case of tweaking basal segments?
Does anyone have experience of this kind of change? How does it affect your BGs? Can I still expect the same degree of control?
Thanks in advance
