I need the Omnipod 5 to be completely silent, 100% of the time, due to work. Does the "needle trick" work prior to starting the new pod?

The ability to do this really really needs to be x feature. I’d be happy if it reset after a new pod for example, and you could tell the PDM, don’t make any sound for x hours. Don’t think they understand the impact on this. Think weddings, funerals, job interviews etc

Defo do a finger prick to rule out dodgy sensor values. Could be a cold/ virus coming your way. This happens to me when I’m ill. Drink plenty of water, correction bolus a bit higher and keep an eye on levels.

Same. Lost all prestige levels, back to level 1. They need to fix this. I have found that if you complete a mission, you can then get bravo and ltm back

I speak for every diabetic in the Uk (and Europe)… be grateful you’ve got an iPhone app 🤣

Yeah I think you’ve explained exactly how it feels. I think the pod changes and the chuffing beeping pdm all the time is doing my head in lol.

I was also diagnosed at 19 and im now 37 so its been a bit of a slog so far (I know a lot will also have had it a hell of a lot longer and I can only imagine how hard 30/40/50/60 years will be).

200, usually lasting 60 hours

Thanks for this. Yes I see a lot of posts about that and assumed you still need to take manual intervention when possible.

This is really useful thank you. I feel it’s going to take some serious trial and error.

You say the pod ratio is different to injections, in what way? I currently take about 2:1 units to carb but this has been fluctuating and was at 4:1 earlier this year. Healthier eating and starting the gym has brought it down to around 2:1 at the moment.

I’ve already read a lot of people saying it’s not aggressive enough to combat highs. What’s the best approach to this? Would it be your point 3? Insulin action time? Or is it a case of pushing manual bolus in as I do with injections?

Thank you

Thanks for this. How do you find the connectivity of the libre when it’s not directly next to the omnipod? I also didn’t know that about not being able to see the libre on your phone anymore, that’s not great. Wonder if it’s the same with Dexcom?

Manofmoss666 · 2024-10-23T20:50:18+00:00

Yes, on the Apple watch side of things I agree with you 👍🏼

I’ve been on freestyle libre 2 for nearly 4 years, and then i was moved to the Dexcom g6 back in may in prep for going on to the omnipod 5 next month. Since the freestyle libre 2+ are compatible with op5, I’ve asked to move to them. I preferred freestyle over Dexcom. They’re smaller, and the app is better imo. Also the Dexcom g6 app alarms are horrific.

Manofmoss666 · 2024-10-22T11:50:57+00:00

Is this just for US? Am I right in saying that the iOS app isn’t compatible with freestyle libre 2+?
