[QUOTE="Kevlar87, post: 2428909, member: 217275"] This is the exact same reason my consultant was happy to put me on the waiting list. I'd inject levemir before bed and my BGs would be totally fine up until 3-4am and then my BGs would just shoot up and unless I wake up at around 530am and inject some novorapid correction, by breakfast I'd see BGs in the range of 16-17. I just got so frustrated with the constant small correction doses every few hours in the morning. I'm even on metformin because my consultant felt like it would help reduce my insulin resistance and reduce my overall insulin levels (it has actually worked in reducing my insulin amounts but those morning BGs/dawn phenomenon are still troublesome). I've been given the option of medtronic 780G, omnipod dash, and tandem t:slim. I like the idea of having the closed loop system but these things are quite bulky and as I do a lot of sports I feel a sense of panic as just thinking they might fall and break or stop me from playing footy/squash/hiking with comfort. The omnipod looks nice and as I've only recently switched over to the freestyle libre I feel together they could be a good combination. Does anyone have any experience of the libre and omnipod?
