Hi, I have been type 1 for 51 years and was given the Omnipod in 2015. In August of this year I was given the Omnipod 5 together with the Dexcom G6. I also can’t compare to your pump but can say that I am very happy with my devices. I do find it’s a bit difficult sometimes to ensure the 2...

Just out of interest guys, what have you set your range on?

Thank you! I agree, it’s pretty cool isn’t it? As far as the coronary issue goes I’m not going to stress about it until I’ve spoken to the doctor whenever that may be
