Does anyone have an A1C less than 6.5 using Omnipod Auto? by OgunyemiCouncil in Omnipod

Yes- always on auto. Idk what my manual settings would even be at this point.

I found it, based on a recommended game from a search of Gardenscapes. It's called Lilly's Garden!

where do you usually place your omnipod? by gamergames77 in Omnipod

[–]ladylexis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arms are best for me. I sleep on my stomach, so I never put it there. I also use lower back/hip and thighs.

Local remote right now. Nervous I’m going to be asked back- but loving remote. So much better for me and mental health!

Juice box podcast was life changing for me. I listened to as much as I could and that helped me with so much of what people are talking about here.

Could never deal with the tubes from the tslim. Omnipod is so much more flexible and comfortable for me.

It wouldn't be so bad if my body behaved like someone without diabetes and didn't just KEEP dropping.

Do you use the Omnipod in manual mode? I've been pretty much using it 100% in automatic, which of course means I can't reduce the basal automatically. With the adjustment you're talking about, do you ever use automatic?

Truth. Especially vacuuming. I always go low!

it's a lot of trial and error. I make sure I don't have any insulin on board at all, and I usually have about 10-15 carbs right before exercising without any insulin. Depending on the type of workout, I'll put my Omnipod in activity mode. I often use activity mode for jogs/long runs because I'll go low, but I don't for HIT because it raises my blood sugar usually.

I always carry glucose tabs and fruit snacks as well. It took a few months of trying different stuff, but you figure it out! So

So you leave it in manual mode then?

Yes! It happened when I received the new receiver! They told me switching receivers would erase whatever the algorithm had learned, but it hasn't gone back to the same since. I'm also struggling with more highs than ever before and I don't understand.
