      Multiple daily injections users: Do you use a diabetes-specific app on a smart phone to track your insulin dosing? Share what works best for you in the comments!
      I use an InPen. Tracts my doses and gives report just like a pump. IOB total insulin etc.

      I’m looking for an app that reminds me of basal doses that keeps the time static as you change time zones. For example, I recently travelled to London. My normal basal dose is at 8 PM at home but currently 1 AM in the UK. The Apple Health app reminded me to take it at 8 PM London time instead of 1 AM. I really just want an app that reminds me at the same time my body is set at without making me think about it.

      Echo Mick Martin. Gastroparesis? Try ondonestron (sp?) one of the 10 best medicines ever invented. Also, "a forever learning curve" and "If in doubt, pull it out."

      For pump users: In the past 3 months, have you had issues with insulin delivery due to a bent cannula or occlusion?
      I hesitate to bring this up but I am quite sure this happens more than people realize. I use a tubed pump and small amounts of total daily insulin and have checked the tubing for YEARS for bubbles. YES, they are difficult to "notice" unless you have a good light behind the clear tubing because the insulin is also colorless. I detach and check the tubing in the morning and before bedtime if not before the evening meal...I'm talking about significant bubbles----8-10-or12 inches in length can appear and you would NOT notice them unless you were looking. I wonder how many people wonder why their blood sugar is occasionally high and it's being caused by a significant bubble...NO, not the champagne sized version that's often mentioned to "ignore." The pump company I deal with tried to get me to switch to injections instead but I am an EXPERT with the bubble situation. Also, comments over the years that I am probably not filling the reservoir correctly, etc....just plain silly. I am NOT new at this...LOL!!!

      I said yes to nausea, occurred with a bad pump site insertion and rising BG over the next 4 hours. I picked it up early w CGM notification and realizing that it was very unusual for me to have rising BG at that time of the day (morning) when on Control IQ pump. The severity was delayed because I had given a breakfast meal bolus via the prior site before the change, so BG was rising after 3 hours, and I knew something was not right. I think this is an important clue for pumpers- when I see people get in trouble w bad sites or insertion failures, the thought process usually is- I just put a new site in, it must be ok- or maybe it does not occur to people that the pump site could have failed--when it should be- did the insertion fail? ----If in doubt, pull it out!----- I pulled the site and could see the cannula was bent, so I know what happened and injected w a syringe, put a new site in, and was better in a 3-4 hours.

      I began playing Pickleball last year in March. When the temperatures started to rise the extra effort my body was experiencing because of the heat got my body hormones out of balance and I began experiencing nausea, higher heart rates and feeling very uncomfortable. I soon realized that I cannot play when is too hot or I’ll end up with ketones. Any new activity when on. Insulin requires adjustments. It’s a forever learning curve. Adding to the heat, last year I was having some absorption problems by the overuse of my abdomen. I have now move the infusion sites to my upper front side and it’s working much better.

      Have you developed lipohypertrophy due to repeated injections/infusions of insulin? Lipohypertrophy is a term to describe hardened lumps of body fat just under the skin that resulted from repeated insulin injections/infusion sites. If so, share how you’ve handled lipohypertrophy in the comments!
      After 62 years I have skin issues everywhere. I am an avid at rotating every time I change my infusion set. When I was on multiple daily injections, up to 9 per day, I had massive skin hardening. Since on the pump it’s not nearly as bad that’s been 33 years. I take very little insulin my daily basal comes out to 9 units over 24 hours I eat two meals that I count carbs for and try to keep at a minimum of 30-40 per day. Everything is going well. Rotation is key

      I use a pump and have had issues with insulin absorbtion. It seems I have a lot of them on the side I primarily use for infusion sets. I recently switched to the other side of my abdomen and dropped more than one point on my a1c.

      Does your T1D healthcare provider suggest new medications or devices that they think would be beneficial to your T1D management during your appointments?
      When I first started with my current Endo we would discuss the released and upcoming products and I would tell her about the 'off-market' applications and devices, we both learned from each other. But she was so good with helping me transition to the Dexcom and then the Tandem after Animas was pulled from the Market. She followed my Dex and even finer tuned my Basals and early this year I got an "unbeleivable" 5.4 A1c and we are both extremely happy!

      Yes. But then I self-selected when choosing an endocrinology clinic that pursues cutting-edge advances 40 years ago. Cutting-edge is a phrase that is also often called bleeding-edge because it is often experimental, hit or miss on results, and very expensive. I am convinced the “bleeding” refers to $$$.

      not anymore, and I am happy about it! Most of the time they were recommending things that had been recently pitched to them by a pharmaceutical salesperson or a durable medical supplier. The doctors would give patients the "free samples" and it was often not the best fit, then after the "free" supply ran out, the prices were exorbitant. Maybe it still happens, but I haven't seen it for a while.

      The need for better CGM accuracy is a big consideration for me. Also my control is pretty good right now (a1c in the low 6 range). Although I am tempted by the sleep and exercise modes which would be very helpful since I’m getting back in to exercise. So…I keep sitting on the fence…

      I don’t want to change from the Omnipod Dash to Omnipod 5 because the minimum target blood glucose is level is higher than where I like to keep it. My A1C is currently 5.0.

      For the last 5 years, the highest HbA1C I've had was 5.3. For the last 3 years the high, low, & average have been 5.2, 4.7, & 4.9. I'm not willing to go to an AID that sets a target of 6 to 7.

      I do MDI. For the last 7 years my A1C has averaged around 4.8. I have no reason to believe that a closed loop automated system could do that well.

      There are many reasons, as well as "something else." My arthritic fingers do not serve me well with a cell phone. I have trouble putting the needle covers back on to my insulin pen needles. If I had to take care of all the fine muscle issues associated with setting a pump up, I would probably require assistance. I am also not drawn to the issues I hear about tissue damage at the infusion sites, or knowing whether everything is seated properly and the insulin is actually flowing. Finally, I just have some kind of negative karma with electronics. I have worked as a lab biochemist. Somehow, I find the weaknesses of every machine in the lab. (the ideal industrial beta-tester) Having said that, what I hear about the numbers achieved with the tandem CIQ gives me pause to consider.

      Like others, the "closed loop" runs me too high - even the target bg is too high for me. I use the TandemX2 with BIQ integrated wqith my Dexcom G6. I also appreciate - and use - the temp basal function often. I would lose that with CIQ. L:ike Nilla Eckstrom (I think?) I like to be between 80-90, with maybe up to 120 after I eat.

      I use a Tandem pump, but I do not use the automated delivery. Why? Because I like tighter glucose control than it allows. If/when the FDA allows for tighter control I’d be willing to try it again.
      I did try it when it first came out, but my A1C went up, not down due to higher blood glucose than I normally ran on MDI. Without the automated delivery, I can get my A1C closer to where I want it. It’s still not perfect, but I’m working on it!

      First thing you need to learn when using Tandem X2, Control IQ is let it run, don’t preempt it because it’s not correcting as fast as when you (Human) make the corrections. However, the pumps of today are set up for people that have not be persons with T1D for a long time. I almost have to change my Basels because of being a T1D for over 55 years and on a pump for over 39 years, along with using a CGM (Metronic and Dexcom) for over11 years. No Vergin sites left. AND when I do hit a relatively new site all hell breaks loose, dropping like a rock almost all day. Very hard to control, a least for three day make very drastic changes to my Basel settings.

      I got a Omnipod 5 and Dexcom G6 a few weeks ago. I am waiting until I return from international trip to set it up and to also get a supply of pods and sensors before switching. I know how unreliable delivery is too often with our medical supplies so I like to have a stock pile when I switch.

      I said “yes” but I only turn on Control IQ at night. It works best then when there is no food/activity, while I prefer to take care of things during the day. I like to have a lower target BG than it allows.

        I am sorry to hear Tricare doesn’t cover the cost of Omnipod 5 yet. I think of all people who get insurance to cover their insulin costs, former military personnel and their relatives deserve it FIRST. Speak with your congresspeople, particularly those who are constantly boasting about how they support the military. You deserve to have your insurance needs met and the political nitwits who run our government should be called out on this failure. It took old POTUS a little too long to reduce the cost of insulin to $35.00 a month, if you want my opinion…Big Pharma and lobbyists have a little too much power with both of the parties in our country.

      Sadly, Tricare (insurance for military families) is not covering Omnipod 5 yet. Hoping to move to the Omnipod 5 as soon as possible—but could never afford paying out of pocket for it.

      Today I am using my old Omnipod. I have the new Omnipod 5 next to me, but I haven’t gone through the training yet to start using it. Plus, I only have the 11 pods that came with it, the new prescription for the 5 pods hasn’t been filled yet. Mildly frustrating.

      I am supposed to get an Omnipod 5 on Sept 2 but I am wondering if I want it. I was very interested in this last person’s comment regarding higher A1Cs. Mine right now is usually between 4.9 and 5.2 and I like it to be there since I feel that I can control my lows by eating when I need to and I just FEEL so much better when my blood sugar is around 80-120 like someone without T1 Diabetes feels. I am a former athlete and dancer and I, therefore, take less insulin and depend on exercise to reduce my need for constant carbs. Some days I rarely need to take much Fiasp at all because I don;t eat a diet super high in Carbs. I can often get away with only taking Tresiba and the tiniest bit of Fiasp (1-3 units when I eat something high in carbs. I am really, really worried about starting the Omnipod and don’t know if I am going to like it…

        From everything I’ve read about the OmniPod 5, it’s algorithm is much like the one on the Medtronic pump I use (770g). The OmniPod 5 will also do automatic corrections for high BGs which my pump can’t do. But I believe that it aims for a higher target and doesn’t let you correct as aggressively as I’d like. My sister is afraid of lows and her BG runs high all the time. She is finally going to move from the original OmniPod to the 5 and for someone like her, with BGs and an A1c that are too high, the O5 sounds like it will be a huge help. For people like yourself & me, with A1cs in the low 5 range and tight control, it can be a big disappointment.

        Bonnie K, Thanks for your info. How many calories/day do you burn nowadays? Or how many minutes/day of exercise? With Covid risk, do you prefer exercise at home or gym or outdoors? Locally I notice one small gym has a HEPA filter system, another small gym just opens the windows and doors, and another very large gym recommends masks and social distancing. This fall I plan to start wearing N-95 mask whenever I’m in an enclosed space of any type for any reason. But for exercise in an even large gym when breathing hard on the elliptical or stationary bike…I’m perplexed.

      Using the MEDTRONIC770G set-up it has the controlled loop capability but my days are so chaotic. I keep It in the “manual” except with my ranges for the CGM set for 65-130. Meaning I get warnings at 70 and 125 and react as needed. While the basal isn’t generally adjusted it suspends the basal at 60, I’ll be “alerted” if the systems senses I’ll reach 65 in 30 minutes (like yesterday morning woke me up with an alarm at 80 with 2 arrows down.

      My chaos at work? I’ll drive an hour to a job, than literally even setting the system into the “active” mode (allowing levels to rise to 150) 20 minutes early will go severely hypo~. Often I’ll need 1/3 a unit for that drive but 20 minutes before arriving to a job will reduce the basal to 50%, and often completely suspend it it there’s any drop.

      (Historically doctors seemed comfortable with a1C’s in lower 7’s because of my glucose drops, but since I’ve learned to pre-bolus and to decrease my bolus prior, by the equations “mg/dL” to a1C looking at 5.5 with a lot fewer hypo~ reactions. Up to the lab work next month.

      Not sure what that is, but put “Yes”. My pump does bolus automatically if I’m too high and lower the insulin if too low.

      Nope. Tried the 670G Guardian 3 system for 6 months and gave up, went back to my old pager-style Paradigm, and Dexcom. One of the odd things about these systems is that, in the name of doing everything for you they lock away the kinds of controls you need to individualize them. To me it felt very much like a “Doctor knows best!” system that slapped my hands away whenever I tried to make adjustments that would conform to my own body and how I experience and deal with T1.

      I’m not sure what you mean by “automated insulin delivery” system. I wish you’d have defined it. But, I said “yes” anyway. I use the Tandem X2 Control IQ, with a Dexcom G6. (oooh, sounds very esoteric) (Allow me a little humor 😉

        By the way, Yesterday, I updated my Tandem Control IQ system to the 7.6 software. What an exciting jump forward! Now, I can see my glucose levels on my phone, which I could not do with the old app. The details are amazing! And, Tandem finally put the boluses onto the timeline, which is very helpful. I used to get the boluses on the timeline years ago with my Medtronic pump, but Tandem never did it until now. Kudos Tandem! Great job. Oh, by the way, it now allows you to give boluses through your phone. However, I do not have that feature on my phone.

      I answered “Yes”, but that REALLY depends on what YOU mean by “automated insulin delivery” system.

      I still have to ‘tell’ the pump the amount of carbohydrates that I’ve imbibed. It will then work out, based on the information that I’ve already input, such as my insulin sensitivity factor, how many units of insulin are required to bring down my glucose level by a given amount, and the range at which I’m aiming to keep my blood glucose level. i.e. Time in Range.

      Coupled with my CGM, the pump makes micro-adjustments to ensure that Time in Range is adhered to. If my blood glucose level falls outside of that ‘Time in Range’ (TIR), the pump alerts me to check my blood glucose level, recalibrate the reading(s) it gets from my CGM, and to take remedial action.

      My pump has the ability to automate the delivery but I can’t afford the suppies to use it.

        So sorry to hear that. Insurance should have to cover most, if not all of the cost, to use the pump to its full ability. I know that I am assuming you have insurance for your pump

      I said Yes because I have the Medtronic 770g which will automate the basal rates. I don’t use that feature because it keeps my BG in a much higher range than I like.

      Isn’t “automated insulin delivery” system the same thing as “insulin pump?” I answered Yes, but the question is oddly written (as others have pointed out).

      I use Loop – a DIY system with auto-basal and auto-bolus dosing strategies.

    If you use an insulin pump, is it an “automated insulin delivery” system? Cancel reply
