Hi All, I have recently gone onto the omnipod 5 with freestyle libre 2 plus. I am loving the freedom of no injections after 37 1/2 years being TD1. But I am getting annoying with the "searching for sensor" that keeps happening I spoke to my diabetes nurse and the advise was put your pod near...

Have you used a vibration trainer iand got nerve damage from using it?

HI!! I am getting a vibration / power trainer (like a power plate) and was wondering if any type 1 diabetics on here have one or use one in the gym? How does it affect your sugar levels? Do you adjust you insulin dosage or food intake before and after using one? Thanks Siobhan :P
