Hi DapherCake I am also an Omnipod 5 / Dexcom G7 closed loop user. I started using in Jan 2025. I have found it has taken the algorithm a long time to learn me. I have had similar issues to yourself. What helped was adjusting the correction factor. I am not sure if that would help you but it...

Hi ElenaP I have Type 1 and use Omnipod 5 and Dexcom G7 Closed loop. I get readings on my Apple watch SE. There is an alert on the Dexcom app saying that as from the end on Jan 2026 you can only get direct to watch with Apple Watch 6 or newer. My Apple Watch is now spending more time getting...

I am a Omnipod 5 & Dexcom G7 user. Unfortunately you need the Omnipod 5 PDM to control things such as giving a bolus and changing your pod. You also need to link your sensor and pod when you change your pod or sensor. You need the Dexcom app on your phone to start the sensor. It would make...

Hi I have tried librelink up, unfortunately I found that the app did not send data from the sensor consistently. It could be several hours between data sent across. Hence I did not get any alerts particular for lows overnight. I have recently started to get Dexcom G7 on prescription. I can...

Hi richyb I am a Libre2+ sensor Omnipod 5 closed loop user. When you use this system your mobile phone is not part of the equation. The alarms come from the pdm. If you start the sensor with your mobile you will get alarms from your mobile. Unfortunately you cannot then use automatic mode on...

Good morning EllieM I am interested in your comments. I am about to move to Dexcom G7. I am an Omnipod 5 closed loop user. I currently use Freestyle Libre 2+ but cannot hear alerts overnight when I take my hearing aids out. I also have an Apple Watch SE and am hoping that it will link with G7...

Hi sebg I am an Omnipod 5 user. Moved from Omnipod Dash to Omnipod 5 in January 2025. I think I use more insulin since moving to a pump from multiple injections. At that point I was early in my diabetes journey, probably still in the honeymoon phase so it was expected that my insulin...

Good Morning Blueduck I have been on Levothyroxine since childhood, long before diabetes happened. Therefore I cannot comment on whether it affects my levels. Sorry I cannot be any help here. Hope you find an answer soon

Thanks for your reply. I will investigate this. I did have a a miaomiao previously, may still have it. Thanks again

Thanks very much will look into this

Thanks for your reply. I have been using a Chimeflash which specifically designed for those with hearing loss. It does work albeit sporadically. It comes with a sensor which I sit the PDM on. When the PDM alarms go off on the door bell sounds. As I say it does not always pick up on alarms. The...

Morning Hopeful34 Thanks for you reply. I would definitely hear alarms on my mobile as there are many more Melodie’s and you can turn up the volume louder. Unfortunately with the Omnipod 5 alarms only come via the PDM. There is an app available in the USA but not here. To get alarms on my...

Hi Hopeful34 Thanks for your suggestion. I agree sorting this would help. Will look into this Thanks again

Hi sninge Thanks for you suggestion. The PDM does have a vibrate setting. I will certainly this. Thanks again

Dear friends I am an Omnipod 5 closed loop user. I am deaf and wear hearing aids which I take out at night. As a result I do not hear any alerts / alarms. I always ensure that the volume on my PDM is turned up fully at night and that my PDM is on a hard surface. The alerts / alarms can go off...
