[QUOTE="himtoo, post: 1229368, member: 142835"] Hi [USER=138436]@carak1987[/USER] i know this is probably not what you want to hear right now -- but I was EXACTLY the same as you the first week on my omnipod. I was crying my eyes out and wanted to return to my normally excellent control on MDI.....................but things will get better time is the hardest thing about it -- cuz you can't speed it up and make things better faster. another thing to consider with getting such high readings ( if way beyond what you expecting ) are you getting good absorption ? how long has current pod been attached ? did cannula go in properly -- is there any moisture on adhesive or any smell of insulin. if you don't drop soon ( 1 or 2 hours ) possibly a pen injection and a pod change I had to do that yesterday ( change pod ) when my bloods ran between 17.1 to 14 to 10 back to 14 then hit 21 by 2:30pm bloods were back down to 9.3 pre evening meal and 5.3 before bed [/QUOTE]
