Hi I am looking back at posts trying to understand why I have been feeling unwell. I was on novorapid but asked to change and was given apedra. I am getting numb tongue and face sensation. Trying to understand what insulin options I should be asking for on omnipod pump. Nurse keeps say it's...

First day of using Apedra feel very tired and thirsty but noticed this when I started using omnipod with novorapid. Early days yet - how long does body take to adjust using a different insulin?

Ok great thanks for advice

Is there any particular time of day which is best to change omnipod? I still have insulin on board just wondered what experiences forum users have had? Plus changing insulin from novorapid to aprida would like a seamless transition. Thanks

Thanks to everyone for your replies. I saw my dsn yesterday who has changed my Insulin to Apidra I collect tomorrow from pharmacy. Fingers crossed it helps me to feel better. I have been feeling so unwell I decided to put in a temporary basal of +5% on my omnipod this morning and feel better...

I have been using novorapid for 15 years I suffer from dizziness and breathlessness I am trying to find out what other insulins I can use. I have tried an over counter antihistamine and feel better but affect wears off later in the day. is there a specific antihistamine for insulin users...

Thanks for this @ himtoo . I wondered how it all worked, definitely feel more energised. Yes I put a beginning and finish time heard the bleep but couldn't see end time on records it did appear eventually. Clever stuff.

I decided to bolus for food, I thought I'd changed temp bolus to -15% its not showing as running in temp bolus but appears in my records as selected. Am I missing anything that I should be checking? Thanks

I've just cancelled my 1st temporary basal -10% and changed to -15% how long does it take for change to start working? Can I change as often as I want throughout day? I've eaten but feel a bit shaky at reducing levels of 9.2. Should I bolus even though feeling shaky or wait til my levels...

Hi@himtoo Thanks for your reply and links. Yes I agree it is important to give it time I am building confidence everyday. Using my second temporary basal today and so far so good. I did feel very unwell at times but am definitely moving forward. I speak to my dsn every week and back at...

Hi my leves were stable at 8 but hadn't eaten properly only biscuits which I'd bolused for dsn said this wouldn't have made me unwell. Thanks

Yes this is my first pump experience my dsn is very supportive and helped me set up the initial doses. The hypo feelings I'm getting leave me feeling very unwell have you had any of these? I'm doing my best to stick with it I'm told can take months to adjust. Thanks for your reply.

I am into my third week of using omnipod I test every two hours until mid night then at 3am . On day one at hospital I felt unwell very dizzy and hypo although on testing I wasn't. I have since had two more similar experiences dsn says it is not the omnipod but I feel it is. We changed ICR...

I am in UK and have been referred by my Consultant for pump. I researched insulins on website and humalog mix plus novorapid were mentioned silly me thought I'd ask the question if two insulins were in use. The reason was because I used humalog mix when first diagnosed and I did not get along...

Thanks for your reply. I have done some research there are pros and cons appreciate not for everyone. Its a big learning curve but if I don't try I will never know.

Can anyone tell me which insulin's are used with the Omnipod please? I use novo rapid and lantus would like to continue using these once Omnipod is fitted. Thanks

I have exactly the same experience as you. Strange pains feels like it's in my bones at times. I change sensor to different arm every two weeks and same happens with that arm. The sensor has a battery in it I am wondering if this is some sort of side effect? However , It's great not having to do...

Forgot to say not on a pump yet but have freestyle libre sensor. Thanks
