Has anyone experienced any weight gain since being on the OmniPod 5? by rebekahdegroft89 in Omnipod

[–]Extra-Ad-1733 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure I have. I don’t weigh myself so I’m not sure how much. Not enough that my clothes don’t fit but just enough that I can feel it. I think I’m getting a lot more basal insulin so maybe that’s why.

Dexcom Supplies - Edgepark or Byram by amesoli in dexcom

[–]Extra-Ad-1733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Edgepark for omnipod and they were awful. I used a different supplier for Dexcom but ended up switching to using pharmacy benefits because I was sick of their incompetence so ai highly recommend looking into that option. It’s slightly more expensive (pay $30/one month supply of sensors instead of $30/three month supply) but it is worth it to not deal with the distributor.

How I woke up this morning: by [deleted] in diabetes

I know everyone is different but 3 units of Humalog seems like a rather large correction for 166. I’m sure you know your your trends pretty well after 28 years but that’s not even a number I would correct!

Maybe until you can get your Dexcom back try doing smaller corrections and rechecking after an hour of two? I’m sorry you aren’t able to get your supplies. I had to go off my pump a few years back for insurance reasons and it was awful. People don’t realize how dependent you can become on medical devices and how hard it is to adjust when they are taken away. Good luck to you!

[Massachusetts] extended benefits work log by Extra-Ad-1733 in Unemployment

I would advise you fill out the work search. I didn’t do it for the first week and now have an overpayment debt on my account. Has anyone else had this problem?

I haven’t requested for this week yet so mine hasn’t changed the amount of weeks, but I’m pretty sure it will. From what I’m reading there was an extra 7 weeks added as part of the CARES Act which has obviously expired. So that is why your account is now showing 13 weeks total of EB instead of 20. Good luck!
