    Omnipod dash, day 2, I'm amazed

    Yeah it trickles it in over the day. You can split one unit into 20 parts pretty darn awesome. So you could have 1.05 units

    Infected site? New to podding, omnipod.

    Ok so I'm only a week into pumping and been loving it. I noticed today after my evening meal that my insulin wasnt that effective. I was due a pump change tonight at 9.30pm. I felt around my omnipod and it felt a little hot. I've switched site early and noticed I have a 2 inch raised circle...

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    Seriously look into a miao miao. I would never just use the libre software if is way inaccurate. You can calibrate the software with finger pricks which makes it so accurate. Plus if you have a smart watch like ticwatch pro, samsung, apple watch and some models of fitbit you can get alerts on...

    Omnipod dash, day 2, I'm amazed

    Absolutely loving day three on the pump. I can't actually comprehend how good it is compared to Injectons. I've lowered my basal insulin to 0.85 per hour. I think my body wasnt working with levirmir anymore I was on almost 40 units a day. I had 3 units of insulin for a 15g of carb meal this...

    High insulin requirements?

    Hi guys, So I seem to have quite high insulin requirements for some reason. I take around 38 units of levirmir per day. It's the fast acting I seem to need a lot of. I've worked out that I roughly need 1 unit per 3 grams of carbs, but in the mornings I need more. So this morning I needed 18...

    Omnipod Dash, major concern insulin limitations

    I would only consider tubeless pumps. Heard too many people have issues with blocked pipes etc. And don't want cables etc. I'll see how I go I've received my pump through the post but have an e class to learn how to use it. I think I may possibly have built up a resistance to my long acting...

    Omnipod Dash, major concern insulin limitations

    Hi guys. First thing is I control my blood sugars quite tight. I do occasionally eat sugars but I compensate this by taking high levels of fast acting insulin. On a day by day basis I typically take 50 units of rapidinsulin and 34 units of levirmir. My rapid acting (fiasp) I can take upto 25...

    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    Mine was 35. Lowest it's ever been. Thanks to getting my libre and miao miao got my control even better.

    Fiasp Insulin is somewhat incredible honest don't need to low carb.

    So I'd been low carving for about 18 months and taking moderate protein. My aim was to keep blood sugars between 4 and 7.8, it worked but at times would spike higher due to the protein intake. I've been introducing carbs back into my diet with fiasp insulin. I've been testing it extensively. I...
