[QUOTE="huntaj, post: 2096791, member: 510899"] I just switched to the OmniPod last week, and was very surprised when I changed my site from my abdomen to my thigh this past weekend and my BG went from a steady 90-130 range to a shocking and steady >250. With the abdomen, I kept my basal at 0.5u/hr during the day, but now I'm finding that even at 1.0u/hr, my BG is consistently remaining between 200 and 250 (no change in diet or activity), so I'm slowly increasing my basal rate to ease it back down. I'm a bit frustrated with the amount of variability in insulin absorption among different sites. It makes using the OmniPod much less of a tool for freedom than was advertised, and I'm not sure if this is something I can stick with since I never had this much inconsistency when I was taking injections.
