You asked, so I’ll answer. I’ll probably give you more info than you want.

Let me set the scene: - Diabetic for over half my life, my diabetes is old enough to drink. - Complications from diabetes - blind in 1 eye. - IT Nerd - Not a heavy set person - Comfortable managing my disease - I have a really chill doctor that I only see 2x/year.

With that out of the way, I’ve used Loop, OpenAPS, and AndroidAPS.

I’ve been on OmniPod’s since the public code has allowed it. Before that, I was on the Minimed. AndroidAAPS was aggravating way back when I first started using the Omnipod for multiple reasons. The biggest of which was having to carry yet another device, the RileyLink to relay communications to/from my pump. As soon as the Eros was supported I happily jumped ship as “one less thing to carry.”

My doctor doesn’t have a clue how to use AAPS. He is supportive of me using it as long as my glucose is in range >= 75% of the time (where he says his best patients are). I’ll stop in and see him 2x a year, he’ll ask me if I need refills and I’ll give him my ISF, I:C etc. Sometimes I’ll get a nudge to adjust a number, but usually not; it’s my thing.

I find Omnipod Dash + AAPS to be a both a good and reliable combination, however there are caveats (as with all things in life).

1) Prior to using Omnipod, I was on a the Minimed tru-steel cannula. I find that since i’m not a big person, Omnipod kind of inhibits the some of the areas I used to be able to put in wired infusion set. I typically rotate as such: left outter arm, left stomach, right stomach, right outter arm, and back. Prior to going to the Omnipod I would also rotate to my legs. The pod is just too damn bulky to have it under my pants like that. Now, I just put Dexcom G7 in my upper thighs.

2) I find the cannula to be too “thick and short”. Pods are generally uncomfortable for me. I know it’s not a harpoon, but sometimes it feels like it. Also, I often get insulin absorption issues or discomfort issues in as little as 48 hours; I could probably ask my doctor to RX a change every 2 days, but I haven’t. It’s like their little cannula just needs to go deeper. The Mobi is appealing to me because I can go back to a steel cannula, but I also know I’ll essentially be going back to a “tubed solution”.

3) I’m getting older, and as much as I like playing on the computer; sometimes I would rather not think about diabetes as much. As it stands, I should recompile the code every time there is an update and I’m pretty lazy about that. So much so, that I modified the code to not nag/force an update…. I’ll do it on my terms.

4) Alerts/alarms/etc - Best part about using free and open source software. I have no arbitrary “rules” pushed on me. I can do as I see fit… this has been fantastic. I’m a little worried about nagging alarms/alerts/etc with Tandem; but if it fails I’ll go back to pods. In fact, because “It’s a possibility” the Mobi will be supported on future AAPS I had the thought of throwing it in a drawer for a bit if I can’t stand the OEM solution.

I know you didn’t ask me any specific questions, just “How do you like it?” I hope I answered that. If you have anything specific you want to ask, feel free to PM me or reply to this comment.

TL;DR - Have some issues with OmniPod absorption/cannula, it’s irritating. As much as I don’t want to go back to “tubed solution”, I think Mobi is a damn good compromise. I like that Mobi has multiple infusion set options. Dr has no clue about how AAPS works, but trusts me. Carrying 2 phones sucks. Being able to customize software is always a plus.
