Message: <blockquote data-quote="Marie 2" data-source="post: 2058900" data-attributes="member: 475037">My endo who is is also a type 1 is the one that put me on the Humalog 200 for my pump.  When I first switched to the pump it looked like I might have to worry about changing it sometime after 2 days instead of 3. (I have an Omnipod, it only holds 200 units). So hence she decided it would be better to use the stronger strength and not have to worry about it.  I use about 25 units of it daily now, so that's equivalent to about 50 units of regular insulin a day. Before a pump I used about  75 units of regular insulin daily. It's just easier with a pump to deliver what you need when!Just don't let the Humalog people know as they throw a fit if you say it to them!!!!An Omnipod is tubeless which is why I picked it. But you have to change it at 3 days plus 8 hours. It will turn off and start shrieking at you if you forget. It does give you warnings prior that you set up. But my endo explained the insulin degrades next to the heat of your body and that you can even notice day 3 isn't as good as day 1. I haven't noticed but I'm not technical about watching that either.</blockquote>
