Nah, this was 3 site changes in a row. All the same. As I said in another comment, I think it was just that my thighs were "tired". But time will tell today.
Nope, none at all. I have since worked out that this might have been a "tired" site if that makes sense. I've used my arms for the past few weeks and not had any issues. Just switched back to my thigh today and will see how it goes :)
HbA1c of 37 (5.5%)
Just wanted to share my recent results with people who understand. I’m so friggin excited for this report!
I’m using DIY Loop with Omnipod Dash and Dexcom G6 (switching to G7 when my current sensors run out). I give a large part of the credit to this trio. It’s such a great pairing.
Thanks to all the great people contributing to Loop!
Recent issues with pump site changes and high blood glucose
Hello!
As I suspect many others here are, I am also a reddit refugee. Anyway, to the point.
I am seeking advice in what I can do about the insane spike I get a couple hours after I change my Omnipod. It’s a new phenomenon for me, having only happened the last 4 or 5 changes. I’ve been on Omnipod for a little over 6 months.
My theory so far is that any new site is quite a bit longer to start absorbing insulin for some reason. I used to just have to bolus 0.5 units after a change, but to get down from this spike I ended up having 10.65 units on board, which is a scary amount for me if I don’t have any carbs to back it up.
Have anyone experienced similar, and found a way to deal with it?
Thank you!
