    Why am I constantly HUNGRY???

    type 1 diabetes also stops amylin production, another thing is not being used to running high, high BGs can make you feel hungry, especially if a lack of insulin is causing you to enter ketosis, you can ask your doctor about being prescribed symlin, otherwise, you should get used to it...

    Omnipod is awesome

    Yeah this would be my first pump, as for the phone, it's just to ensure the Bluetooth doesn't act finicky, omnipod 5 comes with a locked down android device, but id rather not carry anything extra, same goes for the dexcom (BT is just unreliable on these guys at work anyways). Omnipod 5 is just...

    Irregular heartbeat when fasting

    How are your numbers? I know my heart tends to palpitate/beat irregularly in response to impending hypoglycemia, if that's the case, I'd investigate with your doctor, it could be possible that you need to reduce the dose on your oral medication prior to fasting, what are you currently taking?

    Healing Of Type 1 Diabetes

    This sounds interesting, I've been feeling strange for awhile now, but I suspect that was from incorrect dosing, might see a clearer picture once I begin using the omnipod later this month, Would be interesting to hear about your path away from the grips of this disease Edited by mod to...
