I have the new pods. When I choose the g7 setting in my controller it says not compatible I’m so confused.

I'm going to try the flonase. I also get irritated skin from taking off the patch. I'm also going to order some unisolve.

I saw a video where someone had different basal rates stored in manual settings and claimed that you can change to manual and give a pre-set basal rate and once there, go back to auto and the unit will resume where you left it, kind of like changing speed with cruise control.

Do you think the carnivore diet would be helpful dor your diabetes?

I've just had a total of 14 hours without signal out of the last pod.

I keep all my log on information in notes on my iPhone. You can take a photo of your info from paper and then send photo to your notes just like sharing a photo with a friend. I’m going to add golooko information & basal rates after looking at your video. Thanks for great share.

I started on the Omnipod three days ago, I am blind in my left eye with a severe cataract in my right eye so I have trouble reading the PDM controller, I am signed up for the test flight program so on Tuesday I will start using the iPhone app and the ability to reverse the colors on the screen and have them inverted will be a great help to me! My understanding is that the iPhone app willcome out pretty soon! I know it’s not a solution for everybody, but it will definitely help me and I’m hoping that further accessibility features will be available through the iPhone and am hopeful that AI features in the future will make it even better

Great video! Do you pause insulin delivery during exercise ?

Hi Doug, First, thanks for your channel, I'm new to the O5 as well and it has been very helpful. On this video you mentioned that you have given the O5 more time (you're on your 4th pod) and it started working better. But then you also mentioned you made a few adjustments to your settings like decreasing your carb ratio, target glucose range (110-110), changing your duration of insulin action and your correction factor. When did you make these changes? Did you reset after each pod change to make the changes? Did you make all the changes after resetting and now you're in the fourth pod after the changes? I'm asking because I don't know how to make these changes in auto mode unless I reset, so I'm a bit confused. Thanks.

This conversation was so helpful. I also use activity to help insulin along. I’m in Australia and on Dash Pods. We should have access to Omnipod 5 very soon. Thankyou great information

I have restarted a G6 for an additional sensor session and it can work. However stating that the 4 digit code "really doesn't matter", I don't believe to be true at all. The factory calibrates each senor and assigns it that code. Sensors from the same lot number can and do have different numbers so I believe it does matter. Also stating "indefinitely" would be incorrect. I've heard, not experienced, restarting the sensor for two additional sessions and then things start getting a little wonky. FYI

I have had a few people reach out to me saying that this was helpful, which is amazing to hear! Would anyone else like to try the same thing in the hopes that it would help them and also provide useful info for the audience?

Very helpful! This is what all i do except the exercise part. But i just dont feel good everywhere around 100 -150 mg/dl stuck at 200 bg

Thank you for sharing. It's always interesting to hear other people's tips. The only thing I would add is that in my experience, Omnipod 5 is super good at avoiding lows on its own. If I go low, it's always because I've overcorrected a high or overestimated carbs for a meal. I actually struggle with how long it takes to come down from a high with Omnipod 5. My range is fairly tight (110-180) & I'm in range 95% of the time. Like Doug, I don't like seeing that high number. I tend to overreact. So I will try to take it easy on the correction & take a walk or do some exercise when possible. Maybe that will help.

I am mdi I have been for 12 years.I want to try a pump.Which one is best for just starting on a pump?Thank you

I am completely blind and use my current insulin pump the same as someone else mentioned here. Through beeps and vibrations. I see that the Omni pod display app is usable with VoiceOver on one of their own official videos. My fingers are crossed for the control app. I know there is a limited release. Just wondering if there’s any updates as I’m not in the USA.

This is an awesome idea. Really shows how much you care about the community 😄. I just sent you a message to your email.

Sounds like a great idea

That endo should be ashamed of themselves! A person your age and fit doesn't turn into such an uncontrolled type 2 just like that, it takes years of gradually getting there! In fact, that's true for obese patients too!

My daughter has been sitting at 140-150 when her target glucose is 110. How can I bring her down to 90-100 at night?

Here in France we have capteur protect, it works well but it is expensive !

You didn’t have to push air in. I usually just stick the needle in and pull. When you push air it wastes too much insulin by squirting it out the cannula. Thank for the video though because some people wouldn’t think about that.

Great tip! Thank you for sharing.

Hi Doug. I’ve used Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film Spray, Medvance silicone adhesive tape (cut to size), Skin Tac with applicator, and an Allergy Nasal spray. All have helped with skin reactions I’ve experienced with the G6. Especially when used in combination. My current setup is Cavilon on the skin where the G6 will be placed, let dry. Then Skin Tac, let dry. Then the pre-assembled sensor with the silicone tape covering the sticky pad of the G6. A paper hole punch easily makes a hole in the center of the silicone tape for the sensor filament. It’s extra work for the G6 application but worth it. I can get through 10 days of G6 usage without the skin reactions, discomfort and pain. Hope it helps. 😊

Hi Doug, thank you for sharing. I am on Omnipod 5 and seeing all these details and get your thoughts about it is very helpful. I just noticed one thing: during your workout, your basal is still running with a 110 mg/dl target. This might have exacerbated the crash. For workouts, I temporarily increase the target or even use the activity mode feature. But other than that I am fully with you. Sharing these details is really inspiring for me

My story is the same misdiagnosed as type2 for 7 years

Very poor sound!

hi doug, i recently subscribed to your channel when my 3 year old granddaughter went into diabetic ketoacidosis from newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes.... one topic that you might discuss is to have your viewers get a lipoprotein (a) blood test from their doctor.... this is different than the usual cholesterol tests ... most doctors do not check routinely for lipoprotein (a) .... lipoprotein (a) is high in one of five americans.... there are not a lot of great treatments for this yet but pelacarsen and olpasiran might be out in a couple of years... my wife is on a pcsk9 inhibitor since she had a very high level (over 300) of lipoprotein (a)....the pcsk9 inhibitor is not fda approved for this but it did lower the lipoprotein (a) from 300 to 100... here is a link to a youtube video by steve nissen on lipoprotein (a)... ruclips.net/video/yLguuMHs0_U/видео.html it is probably also a good idea to get on a statin and get your LDL level below 50 to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease... steven vig retired internist

There's a ton more nuance than just what I talk about here, but hopefully this is a helpful starting point. Always talk to your doctor / diabetes educator about it before making any changes, and also realize that your starting blood sugar plays a big part in how long (or short) of a pre-bolus you may need.

As a 59 year plus type 1 diabetic, I have a lot of scar tissue. The pod does not always work correctly on some injection sites. Therefore,when will Omni pod come out with a pod with an angeled cannula that will inject insulin between scar tissue layers? I understand the tandem Mobi currently has this technology..

Thanks for sharing Doug, form me it’s a struggle and challenging. I am motivated watching it, gives me encouragement. Thanks again….

Hi Doug. I have type 2 diabetes for 10+ years. I'm losing weight. Can type 2 diabetes "cause" you to "lose weight"? Or is it possible that I might be "misdiagnosed" as type 2 diabetes? Thanks.

Doug, your videos are so specific and helpful! I’m new to the omnipod and I am a little confused. A couple of your videos helped me so much! I just wanted to thank you for your help and the great impact you can have in our community ❤

OMG... Thanks SO Much for that Info .. Next Time I'll let it stay cause it's now 1:17 am and I just removed it saying it it has to be changed by 1:40 and I been wanting to reset my timing for Earlier in the Morning So Now I know how I can reset my Timing. Thank You SO Much ...

Will start using one tomorrow i pray it drops me into range since i'm always high.

Congrats on firefighting… I am a type 1 career firefighter. I have been a type 1 for 20 years and a professional firefighter now for 9 years. I have been surprised finding other type 1 career firefighters as well. I recently switched from t slim to op5 and that’s how I found some of your content. I have really been liking op5 and it’s been working great for me and love the tubeless aspect.

Do you do help others optimise their Omnipod 5 ?

I need help optimising my Omnipod 5 system

Can you do a video on how you manage to get 98% in range for 26 days? What do you eat and how many carbs per day. I am on Omnipod 5 as well but getting abour 70-80% in range. I want to improve.

What is your time in range on OM5? What are your pump settings?

What is you settings for Omnipod 5? Please share

What is your TIR using the omnipod 5? How many carbs per meal ?

Would be using the iPhone app when it comes out in 2024 or you think it’s better to use PDM?

Thanks for the video! Gotta say, I would not be happy with those graphs. I know you're just showing some "bad" events, but it also seems to have a few instances where it lets you creep up to 180mgdl/10mmol. I get far better results on MDI. Would be interesting to see a "good" day

Hi Doug, If your basal rates are not set accurately will Omnipod 5 automatically setup correct basal ?

How long did it take for the algorithm to learn you?? My daughter is on this and after four weeks it’s horrific and she is running high all the timw

When the Omnipod is an auto mode overnight, how do you feel it handles the dawn phenomenon?

Thank you so much for this information! My husband is new to the Omnipod 5 and we weren't quite clear how to address a high.

I had a similar lived experience. Initally I was given oral medications to treat type 2, as it was thought by my doctor at the time, I got even sicker and ended up in a hospital for some time. They did all sort of tests and subsequently, I was diagonised with type 1 - the thing was that my c peptide and antiboy results were within the normal ranges - strange right ?? I was told there is a subtype called auto-antibody negative type , which is quite rare and not a lot of info available on the Internet. Cheers mate :)

Have you had dawn phenomenon? Does the omniPod handle it well?
