Hi @EllieM thank you for responding. it wasn’t even a severe hypo. Went down to about 3.2 but took around 50 mins to come back up again. Treated it appropriately. I don’t have too many hypos these days since being on a dexcom and omnipod 5 pump. Most of the time when I have a hypo I can bounce...

Hi. On occasions I have extreme fatigue following a hypo. I’m talking about not really being able to move that much at all. This happened again last night. Had to drag myself to bed very early and have slept most of today. Also had to take the day off work. My diabetic consultant has explained...

I’ve been trying to find prescribing guidelines for this as it wasn’t the best introduction to using a pump. I thought that trisiba lasted for 36 hours so should have been fine and not run high till after that ran out which would have been at the same time I commenced on my pump? That’s if I’d...

Hi. I’ve very recently started to use an omnipod. The nigh before I commenced I injected my last dose of Trisiba. It appears that as soon as I commenced on my pod 12 hours later it to started to deliver a basal dose as well. Leaving me fighting of hypos for another 24 hours. Has anyone else...

I wonder if it reads your blood instead? I’m intrigued?

Well it’s working so that’s a bonus.

Thanks Rokaab. It just weirded me out a bit as didn’t expect it. Good to know it’s not just me. I was having a night off wearing sensor last night as I’m about to start to use a pump. I’d sent of for a trail omnipod and thought I’d have a night off being part cyborg before attaching my pretend...

Hi everyone. I’ve just put a new freestyle sensor on and a fair amount of blood started ooze out of the middle of it. I’ve applied pressure and it’s now stopped and I’m cleaning my arm and equipment. Anyone else experienced this? I’m hoping it will still work. I’m guessing I just hit a small...

Thank you so much for your detailed reply. I think I will try the test after checking with specialist and just do the 24 hour choice. I’m so impressed with the responses on here. Think I’ve realised I need to talk about this more and also see if I can get a pump.

Hi Daibell. Don’t think I used to suffer with dawn phenomena. Hadn’t even heard of it till my dietician explained it. So don’t understand why it’s started to happen. I get the hormone production but ponder why now? I use my basal at 19.30. Do you think changing the time could make a difference...

Thanks Chowie. Appreciate your response. Think it’s just down to vanity. Also practicality’s. Like you say where do you but it when in bed etc sauna? On the beach sunbathing? How sexy I’ll look? I’ll get over myself though as I’ve felt so Ill recently that all of the above is insignificant...

Hi @Fairygodmother. Thank you for your response. My basal is tresiba. I’ve tweaked from 14 units down to 12. Settled on 13.5 for while and now on 13. I use novorapid as my fast acting and have 2 to I ratio in the morning always with a 4 unit correction dose die to high levels and then 1 to 1 for...

Hi. Just joined the forum about 5 mins ago. Really struggling here and not sure where to start. I’ve been suffering from dawn phenomena for about a year now and have been trying to avoid an insulin pump which according to health care professionals is the only solution? I’ve tried setting my...
