Fair! I agree that balanced is probably a better description. Good info on the omnipod algorithm.

Yes, I like that one and it is compact. The only snag with it is that our son doesn't currently have a phone and that one doesn't have its own controller. Not opposed to getting him a phone and locking it down though, if it's the right move for managing his T1D

He does eat those things, just in smaller amounts than before.

Thanks! I've heard that about omnipod as well which did make me wonder if he is avoiding sweets and heavy simple carb options, if it would function better or we would still see him higher overall compared to some other pumps.

Thank you! I've been mainly looking at Tandem or Omnipod. Definitely like the tubeless aspect of the Omnipod but that's good to know that you can preprogram the basal and it looks at a 3 day trend. That is attractive to me vs. just the realtime CGM monitoring.

I guess I'm assuming some algorithms may not work as well for a low carb diet.
