With some pumps you can have a trial period. I had a trial period on my Ypso and i believe Medtronics have trial periods too.

I was on Omnipod for 8 years. The disadvantage is that because omnipods are disposable units, the pumping mechanism inside it are also made of disposable components which doesnt contribute to reliability. For a year now i'm on a Ypsopump with CamAps. This was a real gamechanger for me. I went...

I did exactly the same thing several times. I also presented proof that my lunch bolusses worked way longer than the theoratical 4 hours setting basal to 0 and skipping supper. It was clearly visible that i had dips 7+ hrs after last bolus.

I have these afternoon dips since the beginning of my diabetes. I was on MDI back then. Switched to pump (Omnipod) around 8 years ago. The theory was that by setting basal rate to zero at around noon, insuline on board would be 0 at 4 pm so afternoon dips would be gone. But no real change...

Ok, guys. I've been doing a lot of thinking these days about your reactions and new insights. For which i'm very thankful. Years i spend finding answers about my afternoon dips. Spoken to a dozen doctors and even switched hospitals specifically for this thing just to get answers. They all...

Thanks. Seems an interesting article. I'll give it a read this evening or tomorrow.

I'm on Novorapid with Ypsopump/CamAps FX currently. I've also had Humalog and Fiasp when i had Omnipod

Since the beginning of my diabetes career i'm having issues to which no one seems to have answers. One of those things is that my lunch bolus is working too strong at a time where it should not noticeably have any affect anymore. I'm talking about 5 hours after lunch and sometimes even more...

Thanks Ellie. The issues i'm having are causing moderate problems. I'll write them out in a seperate threat. Just out of curiousity, why did you start with pump 2 years ago and not earlier?
