I use a galaxy A34 that works well, no issues at all. I bought it off Amazon for £200 at the time as it was a lot cheaper than a monthly deal.

When I was on a attached pump, I used to just let it loose in my bed. It would go where it wanted. The pump tubing I had was very strong indeed. But I am now on omnipod5 and dexcomg6. So my phone and controller are on my bedside cabinet and on charge.

I have been using omnipod 5 looping with dexcom 6 for a good while. When I started I hated it. Terrible highs, very slow to come down. I was better on manual mode. But my DSN insisted it would learn But it didn't seem too much. After months of being high I eventually tried changing settings...

I use an galaxy A34 I bought it outright for £200 off amazon. Much cheaper than buying through pay per month

Hi Typ1 58yrs 2 years ago I was very depressed and felt ill. Then was diagnosed as celiac. I have been strict. But now feel much better. I get occasional constipation, so take over counter tablets.

Hi all I have been type1 for 58years. Now on omnipod 5. Today for breakfast I had. Cut 1 slice slice of bread, toasted it, then olive oil on top, but added some blackberries on top but microwaved for about 10 sec. Absolutely good. 5 berries, it made the berries warm. Just like jam(low...

Glad to hear, I used to push down slightly, but now I push gently in the direction the cannula is going. I learnt this from another user. I reckon it is because no matter how sharp the inserter the skin will push away slightly before insertion. This might change the angle once it is in. But...

I know your frustration. I was on the verge of giving up, when I read a post on Facebook, of a man who said he fixed his this way. I guess it could be proved by videoing me put one on, then also removing it. But I am old and not very photogenic. So best not to

I also had this a lot but not now. I had a simple fix. When I press button to insert cannular. I push down slightly and forward slightly as if I was pushing the pod cannular in. Until it is inserted. It totally cured mine. They come off clean and dry. This is what I do.

I also make my own patches. I bought a cutting out template that I place on a roll of tape. Draw around it and cut out. But I find the hole for sensor is bit small, so I also draw round loosely round old sensor. I bought 10mtr of tape for £6.60 and the template was £5.... all off ebay

I not sure but I have found the omnipod-5 pdm can be re started by holding on the power on button. Then the re start function apears

I recently bought a box of skintac improves sticking of pump bits also kinder on my skin. Also bought a pod template & clear medical tape to make my own pod over patches.

I get a slight rash using omnipod but I recently bought a pack of skintac. This is applied before the canula as its a barrier between skin and cannula. Since using I get nothing it's clean. But I bought it to improve adhesion, it is very much improved. Bought it off ebay but cheaper if bought...

I am using omnipod-5 but I used to get this sensor issue sometimes where it says to wait up to 3 hours. It often took ages. But I found if I restarted it it fixed straight away. I hold down the turn on button and a restart bubble pop up appears. I have to continue holding down then press the...
