Hi everyone I’m due a new pump in April and I’m looking at the omnipod dash.I’ve done a bit of research already.The only thing I haven’t been able to find out is if the omnipod had options for health events when you bolus.My current meter has the option to increase/decrease my bolus in...

Exercise can be a tricky one.I think his basal could do with being looked at if he can have snacks and not need a bolus.The bolus itself can be reduced at the meal prior to exercise.I’m on an insulin pump where you can reduce or increase the bolus by percentages but I’d talk to your diabetes...

Thanks Nicole if it continues I’ll go back to my main basal profile.Can I ask if your pump is tubeless?

Thank you Ellie M

Hi Ellie M I’m on the accu check a viva pump with bolus and basal.I increased my basal by 10% after my last appointment as they were running high all the time.My diabetes nurse has said to leave the basal as it’s a small dose and use health events to decrease my bolus.I guess this is trial error...

Hi everyone This is my first time using the forum.My name is Vicky and I’ve been type 1 for 32 years.I was wondering if anyone has periods of hypoglycaemia and can’t explain why.I’ve been having hypos after tea and during the night.They use to call it ‘a honey moon period’ when I was under the...
