Yep you are correct. A human brain is better than a bit of electronics. But they have to rest and go to sleep.

I find also, the higher I go the more insulin I need to bring me down. It seems pumps work on a set ratio amount to bring us down. Pity they are not cleverer than they think they are.

I can't do different basal profiles as I am on g5 auto mode. Also my DSN nurse says not to switch to manual.

It's been poor last Couple of day's. But i did a pod change today. What a big improvement. I have been putting it on my arms. So now on my belly after a couple of years. Much faster now. So happy again...

I been perfect today, could not have been better. I would like to think it's the settings changes I did late yesterday. But that's just how it goes sometimes

Many thanks for that. Strangely I have been perfect today. Why does it vary? Hope you get better soon.

Interesting I didn't know that, thanks for enlightening me. Dexcom has the g7 version now but the g6 I prefer as most times it's quite accurate.

It is not the pdm that sends the initial alarms. It is your mobile phone. Set the volume to high on all notification, especially media. (Which is the main one and is central on mine)

Many thanks, but I have been type1 for 60rs and usually quite good. But sometimes it can go completely haywire and difficult. Trouble is also my DSN is only part time and reduced to 2 day's and not very helpful. Even when I get lucky to talk to her the blame try to fall on me. When in fact I...

Today, I woke up and this omni 5 sent me from 6.5 to 10.5 by still be in bed and just browsing my phone. It's supposed to stop this but it doesn't. So I got up after an hour..Still highish, had 30carb breakfast, I pre dosed by 15mins. Still levels went up. That has been me all day. ****, I have...

Yes I understand your problem but I don't know of a fix. Sorry

I have been using the omnipod-5 for a couple of years and have been pleased with it. Still use the hand held pdm controller. These are very good. I am also using Dexcom G6 glucose sensor. Using this the alarms work well on my phone. To get it to sound loud adjust the volume on phone. It is the...

Could you turn phone volume fully down and maybe put it in a bedside cabinet drawer beneath clean clothes. Also inside a couple of pair of socks. Did you know sound does not go through solid objects! The sounds actually cause say a wall to vibrate which in turn moves the air. I did a noise...

I find it good but I have to have settings no where near correct to what my body should be. I.e. my insulin/ carb ratios. Insulin sensitivity amount. Insulin duration. These settings are no where near what I should really be on. It means my bolus/ basal daily amounts are not the same. I have a...

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.
