The OP is looking for a smartwatch that’ll work with BOTH devices, Libre and Omnipod

There’s a thread on the Type One section that’s talking about a similar subject. Worth a look.

I think that Libre app is fairly easy to download on most smart watches. The problem, as far as I know, is accessing the app for the Omnipod. When I was choosing which HCL pump to have was shown a huge mobile that the hospital had had to pre-load with hard-to-access Omnipod app. It’s what made...

I’ve only ever put it on my stomach. My pump’s not In a pocket, it’s hooked on my bra, so my thigh would be too far away for connectivity.

That’s all very well, you’re technically skilled, and android; I’m less skilled, and iOS (consider this has a hollow laugh emoji here. No, I don’t have one on my phone but wish I did.) I’m full of admiration for the way you’ve built your loop and the fabulous results it’s given you.

I don’t know if they do for everyone, but some of us experience seasonal changes in insulin needs. As far as I know, some need more in cold weather, some less. How long is it since you were diagnosed? Maybe you’re one of the lucky ones whose needs don’t change.

Hope that you trounce the cold before it trounces your graph. Stay well.

Hi again. How are you? I’m already on the low target of 5.5 and ratio of 5.0; I’m wondering whether I’ll need to change the basal setting. The bigger waking rise is the most significant season related effect, for me, so for now I’m giving a bit of extra insulin if needed and adding an extra 10g...

Yes, Ellie I am. I think you’re using the Tandem HCL whereas I’m on the Medtronic. So’s Paulaah.

When your insulin needs rise as summer departs, how does your pump cope? I’m asking because mine’s currently giving too little. Set changed, extra bolus given, hello autumn.

I really wouldn’t want to do anything needlessly related in a washroom. Even tho it may look clean, I’m told that the aerosols set off by water and anything else falling on water can hang in the air and settle invisibly on surfaces.

I guess I’m less keen to show my knickers than some; the tables didn’t have cloths on. If they had, lifting a dress to get to my stomach wouldn’t have bothered me.

I’ve had a new set change experience. A change was a last hope when corrections weren’t affecting high sugars. The venue? A cafe overlooking a Parisian Canal. The proprietor suggested the toilet, which was down a winding stair, dark, below canal level. And a toilet! He said ok, if the toilet...

Hope it makes your life easier! I find the pump I use seems to suit me, most of the time, and it’s certainly reduced hypos. I hope the Omnipod suits you and you have a good future with it.

Which pump has your nurse suggested you try?
