[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2025690, member: 475037"] I used to use the Libre, but it has a tendency to be off. I would check the first day a few times and actually overlapped them (I had 2 readers) so I could tell how far off each one was. This allowed me to have the proper dosing of insulin and unless I felt different could sometimes skip finger sticking except for a double check about half way through the 10 days. The Omnipod is great, tubeless, you don't have to worry about it getting wet, in the pool or the ocean. no tubes to bend either. It can be put all over the place arms, legs, stomach etc and you don't even remember where it is. I remember when my first endo told me about it and she started patting all over her body to find it to show me and I find I do the same thing. You program a basal rate for it to deliver and you easily can set up more than one program if you want. But when you give yourself a dose of insulin you just tell it your BG rate and it will figure out the dose. But you can even skip telling it your BG and just give yourself a dose if you want. They have made it really easy to use. I haven't found it beeps every hour after 72 hours. It beeps initially an hour before and then when the 72 hours are up? Then it stays fairly quiet until close to that 8 extra hour mark. I go past the 72 hours all the time. If you don't catch it at 80 hours lol, it will screech at you and read change me now!!!!
