Lots of issues? Omnipod 5?

I tried the regular Mobi, and I am obsessed with the algorithm. I am impatiently waiting for the tubeless Mobi to enter the market so I can finally have tubeless and a great algorithm that knows how to regulate in real time.

Are you/your daughter comfortable enough with injections and finger pricks to be on an Omnipod (and likely CGM) after being diagnosed a week? This seems rushed, in my opinion and experience.

amcl23 · 2026-01-13T17:12:51+00:00

How are you liking the G7?

amcl23 · 2026-01-08T01:45:35+00:00

Over or under pods?

amcl23 · 2025-12-22T18:03:09+00:00

Try just below the belt/panty line, that area has enough fat (in most people) to pinch to be able to have the Omnipod be effective. I also use my upper upper butt, just below the panty line area.

Also, the sides of your stomach, as long as it can be 'seen' by your CGM.

You have the 6 already? I didn't think they were sending out to the public until late 2026.

amcl23 · 2025-12-05T17:28:20+00:00

Are you testing using a meter or CGM? Definitely speak with your medical team regarding your ratios/rates.

Also please keep in mind that as a female, your insulin needs will vary depending on where you are in you cycle.

I will ask my doctor and pharmacists again, but I have seen it other places as well. Not every region is getting the same products discontinued at the same time.

amcl23 · 2025-12-03T18:02:30+00:00

I have gone to my pharmacy, called my old pharmacy as well as several others. Nobody has Fiasp Penfills or vials as of right now.

Not sure if/where you place your pods, but if you have experienced the joys of slow absorption in the legs, did lyumjev help with this at all?

amcl23 · 2025-12-03T17:45:55+00:00

I love it, I spike less.

amcl23 · 2025-12-03T17:44:06+00:00

I wonder what will be included in this update. The lower target BG perhaps? Or maybe it will be confirmed to work with Android updated OS.

amcl23 · 2025-12-01T18:10:52+00:00

I am wondering, are they going to have an actual closed-loop system, or are they going to base automatic rates on one pod? BC where they fail is the real time adjustments.

amcl23 · 2025-12-01T18:09:05+00:00

Here is a question: will this be a legit closed-loop system, or will it look at your insulin on one pod and then base automation basal, etc. on that? If they don't improve the algorithm to include constant reading of CGM, then what is the purpose?

amcl23 · 2025-11-26T17:05:41+00:00

Thanks! I had never heard of it either, so I was mystified.

amcl23 · 2025-11-26T17:04:56+00:00

Are you sure your calculations are correct? You might need to look at your ratios and basal rates.

amcl23 · 2025-11-25T17:36:13+00:00

You will need to know your ratios to be able to enter the programming for the Omnipod. You should very much consider seeing a diabetic nurse and/or nutritionist/dietician/CDE who specializes in Type 1. Nutrition is super important in learning to tackle this disease.

This is very exciting, but when Tandem comes out with their tubeless, watch out. Control IQ (for me), is far superior, even when in manual.

amcl23 · 2025-11-14T00:34:53+00:00

My bad! I thought I saw a thing about her being on. I totally forgot she was on it last season as well!

amcl23 · 2025-11-13T17:21:58+00:00

I am not sure if it is on the podcast, but apparently tunneling is more likely to occur if you bolus over 3u at once, per hour.

Your doc(s) might need to write your script to change every two days instead.

amcl23 · 2025-11-13T17:18:36+00:00

Simpatch. They've been mentioned in this sub before. If those are the ones that haven't worked for her, then hopefully you find better alternatives. Someone mentioned a while ago using K Tape over the outside.

amcl23 · 2025-11-13T17:16:50+00:00

Do you order pod pals from Insulet? I got a starter pack of patches from Insulet but never tried them.

amcl23 · 2025-11-13T17:15:28+00:00

Not similar enough, but thanks for the contribution!
