Omnipod & Dexcom G6 site change! 

I know this is a few years old but i went to the Omnipod Dash and use Android APS now. More control gives you microbolus and its algorithm is much more like a pancreas. Im 47 been T1D since I was 10. My biggest issues are absorption as well as insulin resistance. If I dont eat my BS are awesome but if I eat evej moderate carbsy postprandial bloodsugars go high.

Hello Caroline. It's nice to meet you. Thank you for the info that you sharing. Dexcom/Omnipod combo is great. I wholeheartedly recommend this. I've been Type 1 for the past 19 years and this is where it's at. If I come to any information such as what I shared, then I will put it on. Sorry about the highs that you have. Stay on it and stay beautiful!!!!

Instead of skin tak I use Flonase because I get a rash and seen on a fb group was told spray the Flonase and let it dry and I don’t break out a rash. For dexcom & omnipod works great

I’ve been high all day too. I’ve taken 80 units too. Lol I wasn’t due to change my pod until tomorrow afternoon but I was down to 6 units so I changed it and it was leaking some. 🙄 That explained the high sugars and the large keytones.

New information to me, I will have to try out that pump

I put my pain patches in the same area of my inside of lower arms and it’s by far the best site for me to use! Skin moves minimally and little to no hairs in the area, and easy to keep an eye on to see if there’s any irritation, easy to keep hidden with a sleeve or just not showing that side of arm, and no tan lines as it’s easier to keep that area out of the sun. I tried to put my patch on the inside of upper arm, but the tegaderm I always have over the actual patch as an extra security, would pull on my skin at the edges so I got some pretty nasty sores. Not quite the same as wearing a Dexcom, but I’m guessing it might give me an idea of where I shouldn’t put such a device should I ever need to wear one (I’m non diabetic) I guess I’d put a Dexcom mostly on abdomen or upper butt area, my lower arms are already taken lol

mine are always SO ITCHY! gonna try that dexcom spot too! thanks for this!

You should push the air into the insulin downwards not into the insulin itself. That’s why you have so many bubbles. Insulin bottle on the table. Syringe into the bottle, push the air in then tip the bottle upside down and draw in the insulin.

Why did you change your sensor in 7 days because your sugars were so high? I change my G6 every 10 days.

Hi, I’m new to OmniPod. Is it possible for you to do a short video on how to put a new sensor on while still using the same OmniPod. I’m confused on how to tell OmniPod device, to start a new sensor. Thanks ☺️💜🙏🦋

Use the wipes to clean off the top of the bottle 😉

Such good explaining

How did you figure out how to pair your dexcom with your Omnipod? I feel like an idiot trying to figure this out and no one is showing how to do this.

The g6 is more accurate on your stomach is what I've found if you're having trouble with getting more accurate sugar readings

Awesome cool 😎 😎

I can't figure out why my CGM never shows the same numbers as my actual blood machine help if possible

I take it that you are not a side sleeper. I am and I can’t wear any of my devices on the sides of my body.

Do you normally have those issues with the Omnipod? I have had mine for about 2 weeks now and not sure if it is going to be for me.

Does your Omni pod have to wait for your DEXCOM to warm up to work? Sorry. New user.

Why do you only keep your dexcom on for 7 days?

Girl I’ve been diabetic for 25 plus years I know why ur having problems with insulin leaking ur doing things so wrong
