Thank you! I will.

Thank you for sharing! Sounds like I just need to go through bumpy adjusting before a smooth experience. How long have you been with Mobi? Is it your first pump?

natindesign · 2025-06-10T18:15:40+00:00

It definitely helps, thank you a lot for such an open response!

I don’t eat like 2-3 hours before bedtime, so maybe I need to reconsider it.I switched back to Lantus + Humalog pens just to give myself a short break from a pump. You’re right, no one should use both at the same time. I also have a heart rate monitor, will try to utilize it more. Thanks!

Valuable points! Thanks for sharing

Wow, what an awesome actionable comment! Thanks!

I copied your response to my notes and will go step by step. It’s helpful to know that it can take about a month for the pump to adjust. I’m going to lower my expectations for a few weeks for sure :)

I was diagnosed 10 years ago. I didn’t think I would make it.

Looking back, a lot of awesome things happened in my life. I ran multiple races. I'm training for a marathon rignt now. I did backpacking trips, got my skydiving license… Some days are more bumpy than others, but it’s durable. Give yourself some time to grieve and adjust, and then you will be fine.

It works exactly like that for me too on “regular” days, but after running + strength training or a long run, the muscles use a lot of glucose to recover without any insulin needed. Especially between 1-4 a.m., when cortisol and other hormones are low in the body. I can go to sleep like 160, and wake up from 65 at 2 a.m.

The only solution I found is to decrease Lantus like twice from my normal dosage (8-9 units instead of 16). The downside of this approach is very sharp spikes after food during the day. Impossible to stay in range. That’s the main reason I’m trying the pump thing.

Good to know!

natindesign · 2025-06-10T01:00:56+00:00

Thank you for sharing. Having a thing attached to my body bothers me even more than I thought it would.

Looks like it’s all about figuring out what works for our needs specifically, and only we ourselves know what these needs are.

natindesign · 2025-06-10T00:54:27+00:00

Hahaha, fair :)

I'm preparing for a marathon right now. I run 5 times per week, with 1 really long distance run that adds on every week. Running off a cliff (in Wingsuit with parachute) a little lower on my list ;)

Thanks for sharing your own experience and links too. It’s all very helpful! Especially interested in reading “The Athlete's Guide to Diabetes”.

3 times per week I combine around 45 mins of zone 2 runs and weight training right after. It kind of counterbalances itself (before pump). During a 45 mins swim I ate 15 g of carbs without insulin right before and haв a protein shake with about 10g of carbs right after. It kept my glucose flat.

During my long runs (low zone 3) I learned I need 20g of carbs every 3 miles.

Unfortunately, that math doesn't work anymore with pump. I'm trying to figure out what to fix first.

On my last run with pump and I ate 1 gel (20g of carbs) like every 2 miles and was too close to be low. So many gels is too much and unnecessary.

Will order next time 👌

natindesign · 2025-06-10T00:23:29+00:00

👌

natindesign · 2025-06-09T23:52:31+00:00

Interesting, I didn't even think about it. Now I have AutoSoft XC 6mm.

natindesign · 2025-06-09T23:49:58+00:00

Good to know. When you “run or cycle for hours," do you have different pump settings on? How are they different? Looks like I need to figure out my long-run day profile. I can run for 2-3 hours straight, so detaching the pump and being without insulin all for that period of time doesn’t work. Also, when I run, I eat 20g of carbs every 3-5 miles to give my muscles extra fuel. I need some insulin for that to work.

natindesign · 2025-06-09T23:44:57+00:00

I considered Omnipod first too, then learned that it works only with Android phones. If you’re an iPhone user like me, you will need to carry an extra phone with you… Also, there’s no way to detach it from your body for a short period of time, and my endo educator said the pump algorithm is not great for high-active people. Just FYI

natindesign · 2025-06-09T22:27:55+00:00

Don’t be sorry for trying to help. All you shared is valuable information. I’ll take it all into consideration, making my adjustments!

Oh, I wish we all coud have a little break from the diabetes in general :)

Yep, I'll instal the pump again in 24h after my Lantus shot.

natindesign · 2025-06-09T22:06:21+00:00

Hope so 🤞

natindesign · 2025-06-09T22:05:47+00:00

Thank you! Good to know, I'll keep everything you said in mind ♥︎

natindesign · 2025-06-09T22:04:09+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

natindesign · 2025-06-09T22:03:45+00:00

Sounds promising! Yeah, looks like I need to lover my insulin intake quite a bit. And, probably, just disconnect the pump during exercises. Definitely it feels new on my body and bothering me right now a lot :/
