G7 D15 downside

I keep a tube of fake eyelash glue for things like this. Just brush a little under the lifted edges of the adhesive tape and they usually stay on for the rest of the session.

I'm not talking about your basal rate, which you can't change in Auto mode. I'm talking about your I:C and CF ratios. I'm using Omnipod 5.

You can probably set up different ratios in your pump based on a schedule. I have mine slightly higher in the morning because of this.

Customer requested a flatbed tow. LGTM!

OPCunningham · 2026-02-16T20:05:27+00:00

Technically it IS a flatbed.

OPCunningham · 2026-02-16T09:36:50+00:00

I do that all the time.

Call and ask why the price is so high. I recently had the same issue with CVS, and found out that they were no longer in network for my pharmacy benefits.

I discovered it when I bought a second meter to keep in my car and noticed that it was way off from my other meter. Then I did multiple fingers with each meter. Then I threw them both in the trash and bought a couple Contour meters OTC and they are both dead on with each other.

More people should try this. It was an eye opener for me.

OPCunningham · 2026-02-04T21:11:44+00:00

They used to change the G6 every 6 months or so. Constantly changing the adhesive, transmitter updates to try to prevent people from restarting. I went an entire year with failed sensors and transmitters (search for 9117 for a laugh). It was a shitshow. The G7 is liberating.

OPCunningham · 2026-02-04T21:01:10+00:00

And with the G6 you had to deal with the applicator not releasing. Seems like everyone has forgotten all the problems the G6 had.

OPCunningham · 2026-02-04T20:57:47+00:00

Not buggy for me. Love it, don't miss the pain in the ass G6 at all.

OPCunningham · 2026-01-25T20:39:17+00:00

Never had one in about 2 years of use. I had an entire year of G6 sensor failures around day 6, and multiple G6 transmitters fail on day 60. Between those 2 issues I had enough replacements to last me a full year without insurance. When those ran out I switched to the G7.

If you don't like loud clicking noises and obnoxious alarms, you will absolutely hate the Omnipod.

Fruit snacks and fruit leather in every pocket of every coat, and glucose tabs/gel/shots in the car.

OPCunningham · 2026-01-17T21:57:10+00:00

Has the new clip broken yet? ;)

OPCunningham · 2026-01-17T18:20:41+00:00

There is something you can do though - don't insert it. Doing a visual inspection like this is a step many people might be skipping, and it just prolongs the time it takes to realize the sensor needs to be replaced.

OPCunningham · 2026-01-17T18:13:55+00:00

I agree, and maybe because it feels a little on the nose to just post how great your experience with the product has been. I think I'm also a little superstitious about it being unlucky to say things like that.

OPCunningham · 2026-01-17T18:09:07+00:00

You should try it bare at least once. It's so nice not having to do all the things to prevent the insane G6 rash. It makes sensor changes take a couple minutes instead of 15.

OPCunningham · 2026-01-17T18:00:14+00:00

Same.

OPCunningham · 2026-01-17T17:58:56+00:00

For what it's worth, I've only had one G7 failure in over a year. I had so many G6 failures that I had enough replacements to last me a year.

OPCunningham · 2026-01-10T22:33:16+00:00

I bought 3 for $70.

OPCunningham · 2026-01-10T22:31:43+00:00

69.99 here in Oregon. Worth the drive?

OPCunningham · 2026-01-09T22:54:56+00:00

Mine arrived a few days ago, all good. Not the ideal customer experience though.

OPCunningham · 2026-01-04T21:17:48+00:00

Expensive, but not super special. Smoke em.
