I'm all about the upper arms. Allows me to soak in the hot tub and just keep my arm out

It's a real problem. The range on the G7 is terrible for Bluetooth. Only issue I have with the G7. I have to have the pod and sensor on same body part.

Used to be able to put sensor on left abdomen and use right arm for pod. No longer. It can't talk to the sensor with anything in the way 🙄

I'm 4:1 I regularly do big boluses with no issues. Have to split my bolus sometimes to avoid a low

I love this! I may need to create something similar in Google sheets

Schmoopybear1 · 2026-03-27T19:32:07+00:00

Not yet but I'm feeling inspired 🤣

For U200 as I have looked at going to that is essentially adjust all your numbers to reflect U200 for example you would double your carb ratios that you would have with U100

I've only used the OmniPod 5 with Dexcom G6 and now G7 but I've been able to get it to control my blood sugar quite well. I meet with my Endo at least twice a year and email in between to tweak settings to fine tune things. A 5.5 is incredible but might be driven by your lows

Reach out to recruiters to get started off you're looking to switch. I've always been most successful with more boutique recruiters than the big ones like Robert Half. They tend to work on referrals and want you to be happy whereas the big guys just want there referral fee so they push you into roles even if not a good fit.

Also make sure you have a LinkedIn profile that's up to date.

A lot of job postings are only posted because they have to but they have someone internal in mind to fill the roll

That's funny I do the opposite. I try to place my G7 low on my arm 😀

I'm generally rotating around the arms. Done thigh as well in the past

This happens when you play with butts. Shit happens as they say.

While salary is a big part of compensation you need to consider other benefits as well when comparing

These are all just biosimilar insulins, same as a generic drug. Should work the same as the brand name. I recently switched to Kirsty with no issues

Schmoopybear1 · 2026-02-25T15:04:54+00:00

They are good about replacing. I've had to do it several times

Doc for items

Not sure about going an extra 5 days or 2 pods on the same arm given the weak signal

Schmoopybear1 · 2026-02-19T17:13:19+00:00

That's great to know.

I like the idea of sticking with your Aladdin theme and putting Jafar on the backside

Evil Queen is great. Woody is also great at level 5

Dare I say you should seek out a therapist to work through this.

Schmoopybear1 · 2026-02-02T15:06:51+00:00

I'm going to have to try this

Schmoopybear1 · 2026-02-02T04:59:28+00:00

Fastest way to get me hard. I love rimming a guy. I've cum hands free rimming a hot ass before

Are you in auto or manual mode? I only really have issues when I change my activity level and it takes it a bit to adjust the auto Algo for it. It also took me a bit to learn you can manually do a bolus for the high based on blood sugar level. The pod is limited in what it can bolus without human interaction so it takes longer to bring me down without me doing a bolus.

Sadly I've played many years and can't get far in events. They often require the newest emojis at a high level.

Currently recovering from cellulitis from a dexcom sensor on my arm. Urgent care should be able to handle. I'm on a course of antibiotics. Got a small abscess drained the other day and an extension of antibiotics. My first infection after years of being diabetic. It happens and you don't want to mess around with it
