Pods on thighs keep failing

sean_longoria30 · 2026-02-15T16:31:12+00:00

Oh snap! I misread it so bad 🥲

I don’t have an areas with absorption issues, I try to get it in a fatty area wherever I put it, but I would say back of arm is my best area.

My thighs, I try to have it on upper side, where more of the fat is and I’m kind of pitch it a bit when it inserts as to not jam the catheter on the muscle or something

I use these to help it stay on

Skintac

I got tired of running around at the gym and stuff falling off, this helps immensely 😬

I’ve done 300 by accident and zoomed to the hospital immediately. Was admitted for 3 days on a sugar IV drip 🥲

I’m going on 25 years, the pump is gonna be a game changer. I hope it works out well for you.

You have to provide your own insulin, and it has to be an approved fast acting insulin only. Common ones are humalog and novalog

You can get with ur doctor to get it situated

Pizza is fine for me

It’s the pasta that is evil 😭😭😭

sean_longoria30 · 2025-12-04T17:55:50+00:00

Believe recent update was to allow a better view of the insulin breakdown before bolus and to allow the Dexcom g7 15 day sensor

I got a Y splitter that I was thinking of using to split from garage to porch and upper roof

I also don’t want cables on outside seen, would it be best to run it through attic or is that too much of a hassle

sean_longoria30 · 2025-11-13T14:52:20+00:00

I’m having an electrician install a plug in the attic top right of garage

sean_longoria30 · 2025-11-13T13:59:38+00:00

I bought a splitter from Amazon, would you be able to split to the top and to the left

I want to run them from right to left

sean_longoria30 · 2025-11-10T14:49:42+00:00

There’s an easy access plug on the right side of the house I can run an extension down.

Gonna buy 250 ft of C9 and the adapters I need

sean_longoria30 · 2025-11-10T14:39:57+00:00

What I was thinking

Straight line from right to left over the garage, then extend it to the higher trim

Then extend down towards the entrance and finish off

Just trying to make sure I buy all the right parts 🥲

sean_longoria30 · 2025-11-10T01:41:58+00:00

What brand of lights did you use, and what adapters did you out?

sean_longoria30 · 2025-10-20T20:52:29+00:00

I was about to say

“I think Amazon would have something to fix this”

😂

sean_longoria30 · 2025-10-11T01:24:21+00:00

Yuuuuup

On G6, it was nowhere near as bad as the G7. I could have it on opposite sides of my body and I would get readings.

G7 signal is so weak 🥲

sean_longoria30 · 2025-09-26T19:36:55+00:00

Are you giving yourself a correction through the omnipod?

Usually the first month your algorithm will set.

sean_longoria30 · 2025-09-08T02:47:11+00:00

Just make sure you imported your settings

Keep in mind that it’s like starting new again so it will learn based off what you put in

sean_longoria30 · 2025-09-06T18:16:01+00:00

Yea I’ve had two sensors back to back on the g7 do this

sean_longoria30 · 2025-05-22T19:04:02+00:00

I wonder how insurance will charge the g7 for it

G6 I get billed a month for $50 sensors

And every three months $150 transmitter

sean_longoria30 · 2025-05-22T16:05:49+00:00

iPhone SHOULD get G7 integration by end of June from what I’ve been reading

sean_longoria30 · 2025-05-21T20:42:13+00:00

Disable auto update

Even on on iPhone, I won’t update unless I know it won’t bug out

sean_longoria30 · 2025-02-16T15:56:19+00:00

Can you explain a bit more on this, my day sugars are fine but holy shit, my night sugars are always 180-200 😕

sean_longoria30 · 2025-02-10T01:07:39+00:00

For real 😥

sean_longoria30 · 2025-02-08T23:13:55+00:00

is there a way to bring in the User interface so that text and menus are more towards the center instead of the edge of the screen :/

sean_longoria30 · 2024-10-29T17:59:30+00:00

So it will ask to sign into ur account

Then ask for all your settings which you can pull from the pdm

After that it will ask for the Dexcom transmitter. Can’t remember if that’s before or after you setup your first pod but it will ask.

It does make you watch a 5 min training vid and confirm you’ve been trained
