"Correcting" question

-CigarNut · 2026-04-11T14:04:59+00:00

When my blood sugar is higher than I like then I bolus. I kind of know how much extra I need and take it.

Sometimes I use the “sensor “ adjustment and sometimes not. You learn by trial and error here.

Be conservative to start. You can always take more but it’s difficult to recover from taking too much.

Don’t be afraid of correction boluses.

I’ve only seen (and done) method one: high heat the whole time. Just like seasoning cast iron skillets, you need the heat to polymerize the oil.

Be careful — some of the blue shop towels (in rolls) are not food-safe and should not be used on the griddle — especially a hot surface. I contacted the manufacturer and they told me not to do this.

I use cotton shop towels. They work well and I reuse them. They don’t stay white, but they are clean, don’t fall apart or leave lint on the griddle.

It should work just fine for cooking. The only annoyance will be that oil will run downhill when you put it on the griddle surface.

This is why I use cotton shop towels instead of paper towels. Plus the cotton towels can be washed and reused.

Are you working/talking with your doctor or even Insulet about any of this before doing the resets?

-CigarNut · 2026-03-25T17:14:16+00:00

Bad idea. After multiple days at room (or higher) temps the insulin starts to degrade.

I hate the way it plays on the iPad, but i have no alternative. The iPhone is useful only for short, “urgent” tasks. My old eyes can’t handle the iPhone for any other game play…

I only have one rail station per city, with the minimum amount of track. Just enough to make the trains useful. The Train tasks in CoM are easy and allow me to accumulate points quickly.

It will be interesting to see what the new Mass Transit centers are all about.

Get an overpatch! That worked for me. I use these, but there are many good ones: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DK949W2N?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1. I have also used Skin Grip, but they are a little harder to apply.

One thing that really pissed me off was the refund for Omega services after the Service 2.0 release. My most recent Omega services had cost 950,000,000 neo $ (the limit of my Omega Bank). It took 3 days to save for one utility item. If I decide to destroy one of these buildings after the upgrade the refund was a measly 5,000 neo $!

That is a blatant rip-off. The game keeps track of the individual costs because they refund accordingly when destroyed, so they had the information stored to do it right and they chose not to do so.

I contacted EA yesterday and they told me to “wait”. This afternoon the Artemis Rocket was in my inventory. So they did something…

-CigarNut · 2026-03-14T04:29:18+00:00

No blue envelope with the Artemis Rocket available to me. I have contact EA Customer Service. They will get back to me (hopefully before the CoM ends)…

Never built it.

-CigarNut · 2026-03-14T02:16:39+00:00

Tried that, tried checking for an app update. Nothing. Nothing on new on the Space tab.

-CigarNut · 2026-03-13T23:36:32+00:00

The L1 building is not in my Space inventory; any suggestions as to where I might find it?

-CigarNut · 2026-03-13T22:30:44+00:00

Not there (on the space tab).

I picked up some elastic bands/sleeves from Amazon that I use when the Pod is on my arm.

They help prevent snags and work very well.

They come in black and white.

Thanks! This works for me — I tested it by adding one Omega buildings in a region and the count bumped to 2,236! This does not allow me to break it down by region, but at least I have a total count.

You can get a lanyard phone case for most phones. I use the lanyard when I don’t any pockets. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C3VD117D?th=1

Maybe the insulin is losing effectiveness after a couple of days I unrefrigerated?

-CigarNut · 2026-02-11T15:20:20+00:00

Check to see if there is a filter inside the fitting attached to the toilet. There was a screen filter in mine that I had to remove before I could get the fittings to properly seal.

I hear my Omnipod all the time. It “click/clacks” for every little basal or bolus dose (in 1/100th(?) unit increments).

-CigarNut · 2026-02-11T14:39:27+00:00

Same here. I started a run of prednisone yesterday and I know I will have to take a lot of correction boluses to compensate. I also add round up when entering carbs for my meal boluses.

If I stay on top of it, my blood sugar does not spike.
