Hi, I migrated to Omnipod 5 3 weeks ago from Omnidash and would welcome some advice/shared experience. I had excellent Hb1Ac control at 5.9% average on omnidash though not so on omnipod 5. I’ve tweaked my settings to be more aggressive with the assumption the pod will be more cautious as it learns my patterns. The training I received suggested a 2 week window for the pod system to understand my patterns though, from what I’ve read, I think this is optimistic. I resort to manual mode to get BG under control though appreciate this defeats the purpose and doesn’t allow the system to get to understand me.
So, do I persevere or call it quits? Honestly, this is frustrating beyond belief so any views/advice gladly received.
