I am 50 years old. I have had diabetes for 45 years, 46 actually. Seeing you and your mum in the car reminded me of how much I miss my mum. I lost her nine months ago and she was my rock. My oxygen my sugar levels are weigh out of control at the moment because of emotions I still haven’t gotten over her. Maybe it’s time to change from pins to something like you are showing me there. God bless you Mum it looks like she is your rock.. I tryed pumping about 10 years ago, and it looks like allots changed, I could never get it right I don’t think they ever figured out my Basel rate properly. Maybe it’s time to give it another go and get it off the pens.😊

Just remember the first two or 3 pods take time to learn your body so you might see wacky blood sugars!! Have faith in the system. I been on it for 2 months and I'm in love with it!!

Nice to see your PDM screen

22% time in range!!!!!! I HOPE the Omnipod 5 helps you a lot. I was on the Medtronic 670G, which is a hybrid closed loop system. I thought it was terrible. However, it did help me a LOT with controlling blood sugars. Now on the Tslim, which is better. But still has problems, probably caused mainly by me. Wishing you a lot better control of your blood sugars and improvement in your health. Lower A1c in the future.

I hope it works for you! Thanks for thre great video. Brings tears to my eyes, since I know what you are going through… I’ve been type 1 for 52 years. Looking to star the Omnipod myself, that’s why I’m here. I hope you do follow up vids! I just tried the Medtronic 780G but did not keep it. It really didn’t work that great for me. Not a fan of having a pump hanging on my side with tubing either so I’m looking at the Omnipod. I hope you are well! Enjoy how well you speak too.👍

I've been on both Tandem TSlimX2 (my first pump) and am now, as of June 2022, on the Omnipod 5. Been type 1 since 1988, but only started using a pump in 2018. Anyway, both are great pumps, but I'm liking the Omnipod because I tend to toss and turn a lot in my sleep and, also, just got a puppy late last year and she chews on anything and everything that looks like a cord or wire.

Thank you! ☺☺

Glad the O5 is great for you. I left Medtronic for Tandem T:slim and never looked back. I’m stuck that you did not get your 1st choice pump because the nurse did not put in the prescription? I bet you were far too nice about it.

I went on a binge of watching day in the life videos because I’m also a type 1 diabetic and ran across your video. Feel free to not answer this but are you in East Tennessee? I swear that looks like the same office I go to >.

How does Omnipod 5 help uncontrolled blood sugar during periods?
