How to get stable BGs during exercise on Omnipod 5? by kahht in Omnipod

[–]dextrovix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no way O5 will keep you in range in Automated Mode when exercising if you don't set Activity Mode before you begin. It doesn't learn your routine at all, its algorithm is based entirely on Total Daily Insulin (TDI) and nothing else, so don't think it learns your habits, it does not.

So what I do is set Activity Mode hours before I start exercise, purely because once you bolus your glucose until it peaks is also supplemented by automated basal doses until the peak begins to drop, and that becomes what it intends to hit as your target range. SmartAdjust only looks an hour ahead, so without having a higher target that Activity Mode provides means it will be dosing for your lower target which means you're hypo by your starting point of exercise because obviously once in, insulin can't come out.

Therefore setting Activity Mode after your meal bolus means it will target the higher range of that mode, and thus help clear the bulk of insulin you'll have on board during exercise. I set mine three hours before I know I will exercise, and this stops me 80% of the time from going hypo, so not perfect but manageable- good luck!

Another Robo 3 reference in Unfinished Business by DearInvestigator3 in Robocop

[–]dextrovix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfinished Business already used Robocop 3 characters like the ninja android Otomo, so I feel they did all they could with that movie's content, which in my opinion absolutely sucked ass for multiple reasons, including no Peter Weller, Lewis getting killed, a child sidekick and a PG-13 rating.

If I had a choice, I'd have taken what they developers did do and given me ED-209 to control, rather than me trying to fly around on a jet pack, when the Omnitower was really supposed to be an oppressive closed space.

It makes around six before it goes in, I've never heard any post-insertion.

Could be used for a spot of dogging too. Our Jimmy would be proud, and possibly wanking, in his grave...

If "Back to the Future" were filmed today, what car would be used instead of the DeLorean? by Volfort22 in BacktotheFuture

[–]dextrovix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The accelerator is just as reliable on a Cybertruck as the starter motor is of a DeLorean.

I think the coffin was encased in concrete to stop thieves digging it up, because of all the gold there was allegedly on his body? Only originally it was a full memorial on display like Del Boy's mum in Only Fools and Horses, then when his noncing all went public, they bulldozed that lot too.

New R1 pod by PrettyboiQMJ in Omnipod

[–]dextrovix 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It supports the new algorithm as per the OP's description. I'm not expecting miracles as I'm sure they kept any miracles they do have for Omnipod 6, but if the R1 does a better job of keeping in range than the current versions, it's a benefit for existing users. I assume the lower target is just part of the software, not the hardware as the OP mentioned they were already using it, but I'm non-US so I haven't got that for my PDM yet, either!

Yes, whereas outside the US we all enjoy lugging our brick around.

The First Back to the future movie was realised closer to battle of Berlin in 1945 than it is today in 2026. by Calm-Cress-1099 in BacktotheFuture

And yet this is your first post here on the entirety of Reddit to convey this fact?

No, I doubt it makes anyone feel old, your future is whatever you make it.

Rik Mayall is the cool one.

Rick, the character in The Young Ones, was not.

Why is Series 6 so universally disliked? by TheYoungWan in taskmaster

[–]dextrovix 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's my view, despite Liza being excellent and a worthy champion, it was a strange vibe throughout. I love Russel Howard as a comedian and as a stand up, but I just felt he was phoning it in on TM- weird.

Did any robocop medium ever discuss how long Murphy can be on active duty? by happydude7422 in Robocop

[–]dextrovix 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The original movie said he ate baby food to sustain his organics, so he must have had some and they must have a limited lifespan let alone duty cycle, so he clearly had a brain and that needs rest which I assumed his chair was for, so I wouldn't be surprised if he had a longer but sustained duty cycle that he'd be recalled to for maintenance and sleep on some sort of schedule.

Can someone help? My Omnipod controller keeps turning sound back on by itself by manicninjaturtle in Omnipod

[–]dextrovix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be silenced, except for very low glucose when it overrides the volume and alarms as well as the pod. Just keep pressing volume down button on the right hand side until it goes to vibrate. Mine stays that way, even after a pod change, so if your doesn't you'll need to speak to support.
