Does it not go any lower 0.25

Hi I have a question, I have the old style omnipod, can the basal / bolus ratios be refined on the Dash ie 7.5 no 7 or 8 example I have bolus 1-10, 1-9, 1-7, which is a little to much but 1-8 not enough to, so does the dash go 1 to say 7.5 ? Im unable to upgrade for 3 years, however I would...

Hi I’m using omnipod and my diabetes nurse feels the novorapid is causing my hi bg readings post meals, she is looking to put me onto fiasp, has anyone else used this , is it any good

Your diabetes nurse should be able to advise time blocks. It takes a couple of weeks to get any old insulin out of your system. Be patient. You will in time have to do cab free breakfast lunch and tea to see how basal rates are. Give it time.i only started pod in August I am still ironing out ratios

I personally have found it out by 0.6 to 0.2 However it has improved since the update on libre . It's made alot of difference to my control. I dont trust it 100% but I'm.happy with its improvement to my control

I personally dont trust the libre due to it being 10 minutes behind. I was advised on the course to still do finger prick tests before meals . It's not as accurate I wont take the risk

I ve had the libre for 3 months and lost 1. It came unstuck the last 2 days of life. I find that you have to use the wipes to ensure skin is clean and give it time to dry. Its brilliant I'm so happy with it. Not as accurate as finger pricking a couple of m out . But saying that my hba1c has...

On the course we were told libre is 10 to 15 minutes behind actual finger prick tests. Hope that helps.

Thank you so much for the response How easy is the transition

We re all different mine can be 6.5 before eating .. 2 hours later sky high. I'm trying different cereals. I have found a dessert spoonful of chia seeds seems to help with a few berries and spoonful of Greek plain yogart. Its trial and error. My diabetic nurse said as long as the insulin spike...

The rep told us to apply replacement sensor 24 hours before the old one ran out. This was so it got used to your bg. It's a good bit of kit not 100% but saves finger pricks

Yes I do The readings aren't 100 % if my bg on acu chek is 6.7 libre van come in .5 higher or lower

Hi guys girls 45 years type 1 Been given funding for omnipod Apprehensive of it, don't know what to expect ? Can anyone advise please. I'm 53 had type 1 since 6 year old.

I have recently had a libre. I have had to attend 2 workshops. 3rd in July. Meet criteria set by NHS to obtain it FREE It's a great piece of kit however ... Not 100% converted. Not accurate all the time but it has helped identify spikes lows and basically made me look at what foods cause problems

Sorry I didn't read before posting. It meant to say il be a podder ...

I have the dawn rise ... however today I tried chia seeds .. which are a protein ... on my porridge and they seemed to of helped. I didn't get the rise . I am praying that once I start with my omnipod things get sorted out. Does anyone use an omnipod ,m

I wish ... my bloods can be 5.5 pre breakfast at 630 am by 9am I'm up to 15 then by lunchtime back to normal. I'm praying that once I start with my pump ratios can be tweaked to counteract the highs

After injecting for over 45 years I have pushed to get a pump. It's taken 12 months of contant pushing blood tests attending every course. In the next few weeks il ne powder. Any advise please ? I'm lucky that I have the libre for bg testing which has pushed my case.

I avoid bread .. my bg shoots up really high. It also goes high after porridge. My diabetic nurse has advised me to try natural yogart with fruit ... so far so good.

Be nice if my 2 local stores had them !! Rediculous situation . Libre cant ship til end of july
