Thanks

Good Morning The only time I have experienced this is when I was trying give my arms a rest. As the sensor has to go on my arm I tried placing my pod on my tummy or back. They did not seem able to connect when I did that and I had to relocate my pod. I suppose line of sight was not being...

Hi SalRead1 No problem I will talk you through things as best as I can. When replacing the sensor make sure the PDM is in manual mode. If you go into manage sensor the steps to follow are there. The sensor takes 1 hour to warm up. Whilst that is going you will see on your pdm searching for...

Hi Hoping I can help. I use Omnipod 5 with Libre 2+ Closed loop. I Starting using this in February. Is the set up you are using ? If so I will see if I can help

Hi You just have to do that when starting the sensor. Thereafter it should take readings automatically. Hope it works ok

Hi I probably waited about 1 year to start on a pump. I think waiting times are a lot longer now. I started on Omnipod Dash in February 2021 and moved to Omnipod 5 in February this year . I agree technology when it works is of great benefit to managing diabetes.

I use Libre 2+ and it is a continuous glucose monitor. You have to scan once to start the sensor. I previously used Dexcom 1 and for me it was better than Libre 2. I moved to Libre 2+ when I started on Omnipod 5 Closed loop. Hope this helps

Good morning Sam. I am also an Omnipod 5 user. I am based in UK. It would be great if the controller was on your phone. For me in particular overnight I cannot hear the alarms on the pdm. It has taken up to 14 notifications for me to hear the alarm. I wear hearing aids which I remove at...

Hi Hitch52 I am an Omnipod 5 user. I have not needed to use any additional tape. I use skin tac to keep my Libre 2+ attached. I did use skin tac to fix Omnipod but found it made changing the pod after 3 days challenging. Good luck with Omnipod when you get started

Hi Bluemarinejosephine I am using Omnipod 5 and Libre2+ closed loop. I previously used Omnipod dash with dexcom 1. It has taken a while for the algorithm to learn me and my requirements. It did take me a while to get used to giving control over to the pump. There is an activity setting on...

Hi Hitch52 With the exception of positioning of the pod to maintain line of sight I have not found changing the pod a hassle Good luck with your decision making

Good Morning I use Omnipod 5 and Libre 2+. It has taken the algorithm some time to learn my requirements. I started using Omnipod 5 in February and I am now finding my time in range improving. My main challenge has been maintaining line of sight between the pod and the sensor. For me the best...

Still oopsing for me all day today

Hi andy2010 I used a Medtronic pump some time ago but due to problems with set changes I moved to Omnipod Dash. I then moved to Omnipod 5 in February this year. The main issues I have had is maintaining line of sight between the pod and libre 2+ sensor. To achieve this the pod and sensor must...

That is good result. Really pleased you found the nurse supportive. The last thing you want is a flare up of your IBS. Good luck let us know how things go

Morning Buuton43 Thanks I am doing better on insulin. I now have an insulin pump which is excellent. Hopefully the nurse will be more sympathetic. This is where you need to be assertive and express your concerns as you are doing here. I ended up simply saying what I was willing to do Good...

Good Morning Button43 I have colitis and Type 1 Diabetes. It was initially thought I had type 2 so was tried on metformin and various other medications before going onto insulin. I can understand your concerns being in a similar position to yourself. It might be worth arranging another...

Morning Buffy123 I am Libre 2+ user and have had quite a few faulty sensors. I get mine on prescription. I would make contact with Abbott and they should supply you with a replacement sensor. They may ask you to return the sensor so they can review it. They will provide you a kit to return the...

I am an Omnipod 5 user. I do sometimes experience some pain after putting a pod on but it usually settles down fairly quickly. On occasions when it does not I have contacted Omnipod for advice. Hope things settle down

I agree with you. Hope you get a better sleep tonight
