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...

Hi DapherCake I am an Omnipod5 user. I can understand that you will be feeling stressed and lost, especially as you have not had much information. The insulin you have been asked to collect will be in 10ml vials. The vials contains 100 units per ml. What happened for me was that this was...

Good Morning Charlit I am an Omnipod 5 user. I have not experienced any problems with pods being unsecure after showering. For pods I do similar to you. I change them after showering, making sure I do not get lotions near it. I do have this issue with my Libre 2+ sensors. I use skintac...

Hi Antje77 I have had steroids injections into my hands on numerous occasions. The steroids had a very positive effect on the pain in my hands. Unfortunately the steroids did cause my diabetes go out of my control for about 7 days. After that things began to settle down. I am a pump user. I...

Morning. I use skin tac wipes which I get from Amazon. For me they work well. Only problem is if the sensor has to be removed before the 15 days are up.
