Hello I started the Omni pod about 2 or 3 months ago and I'm trying to settle in. Things are getting much better now but I am having trouble keeping my basal settled. It seems tgat just as I get it right, it changes.
I feel that the variations are either:
1) because the injection site affects my response to the insulin over the three days that it is installed or,
2) my response to the insulin changes depending on where the pump is fitted.
It is likely to be a combination of both these but the variations are really significant. While I think my basal requirements reduce with each day of wearing a pump. The variations are not consistent and I think this is to do with where the pump is fitted.
I fit the pump in the stomach, the thigh, the arm and just below my belt line on my backside.
Dies anyone else have these issues?
Chris
