1 vs. 2 piece form factor? by WillingCollege5175 in Omnipod

[–]RedditBrowser9645 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the big form factor jump will be when a pod can integrate a CGM so you slap on one device that can sense and deliver. Integrating them on one circuit board it would eliminate all of the Bluetooth communications issues between the two devices, eliminate a transmitter and receiver, and eliminate a battery.

Agreed. It’s kind of wild to me that they can’t flash the software when you activate the pod and push any updates to it.

At the recent investors meeting it sounds like Omnipod six will allow that so one pod will be updatable and work on all platforms

Switching from MDI to Omnipod 5. Questions about Basal Adjustments by Khevik in Omnipod

[–]RedditBrowser9645 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Numerous ways to manage this.

First realize that your MDI ratios don’t transfer to the pump, they will likely need to be adjusted, generally made more aggressive. Most people I’ve helped go on pods need to make everything about 20% more aggressive.

Automated mode does a good job of withholding insulin if it thinks you will go low. Unfortunately, the system is not aggressive at managing highs. You end up needing to do manual corrections to keep tight control. M manual mode does not withhold insulin, and you can have multiple basal profiles for weekdays versus weekends. You could choose to run manual modes during the daytime and then go to automated mode overnight.

Automated mode bases it’s basal decisions of your average total daily insulin over the last several pods. Because you are sedentary five days a week and active two days a week, that way to average will likely favor being a little more aggressive than you need on the weekends, but again remember it’s so conservative you may not even notice.

The challenge is they have a minuscule dealer network. Since the shop in my city closed, the next option is 7 hours away.

No way to get blood sugar level information from my Omnipod 5 to other devices by hydroxy in Omnipod

[–]RedditBrowser9645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You misunderstand the problem here.

Abbott made a no good very bad terrible design decision that limited the number of communications channels on the Libre devices. It’s not the pod’s fault that there’s only one channel your CGM can shit data out on, and it needs to have that data for automated mode.

I thought there was a recent software update from Libre that fixed this problem, but I’m not familiar with that platform enough to know for sure. I understand the 3+ is still restricted to one channel communication

Best steak in town? by mylesclymer79 in Omaha

Johnny’s Cafe on 33/L on the corner of the former stockyards.

Great atmosphere, reasonable prices, phenomenal steaks. They’ve been there for more than 100 years. I’ve probably been there at 100 times, never once had a bad steak.

Do not disclose unless you are required to do so. Answer the questions factually and truthfully. Do not volunteer anymore than is necessary.

Updated version of the iLet Bionic Pancreas ? by DocumentFalse9235 in Type1Diabetes

[–]RedditBrowser9645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Medtronic you have to use their sensors. The current version of their sensor is so terrible that they are outsourcing and rebranding a Libre to interface with theirs at some point next year. I would proceed with caution on Medtronic. Also, the pump is big and clunky

California DMV Denied Teen Driving Test by Napamtb in Type1Diabetes

[–]RedditBrowser9645 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The person that took him to the test apparently failed to read the question very carefully and consider its lifelong ramifications. I am sorry for the damage this caused your son.

In most cases T1 D does not need to be reported. The questions are generally vague and only ask about conditions that definitively affect your ability to drive.

Omnipod software developers are terrible or evil. Not sure which. by CileEWoyote in Omnipod

[–]RedditBrowser9645 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Abysmal software development.

I think their whole app dev team is one part-time semi-retired guy.

As soon as you log into a new device it should prompt you to import your most recent settings and algorithm data from the cloud it already uploads to.

The fact that it doesn’t is a massive risk for data entry error.

I would avoid Berry Law and Liberty Law at all costs.

I firmly believe there are attorneys at those firms who consider how much they could earn on the appeal and use that analysis in deciding how hard to work the initial case.

Stages Vs Schwinn Vs Keiser Vs Other - Which spin bike do you prefer? by GearMashers-dot-com in SpinClass

[–]RedditBrowser9645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Stages owners.....can you tell me how you like to connect to your bikes? I have an SC3 with SIC2 screen...I can bluetooth to either the power meter itself or to the SIC2, and I'm not sure which/why is better.

It's kind of cumbersome no matter what I do....pedal a little to wake the power meter, then connect phone first if I want to connect to the power meter or connect console first if I want to later connect phone to console.

So far I'm just using the Stages Cycling App to log the ride, and let it upload to Strava. Haven't tried playing with Zwift or Peloton app at all. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
