"Everything I've read says do not mix. The problem being is you do not always need the Symlin (only when you eat). Plus, you start at a small dose (15mcg) and work your way upward (to your ideal dose)because of potential problems, one being…"

Katkat replied to TracySue123's discussion 'Insulin/Symlin mix in pump. Does it work?' in the group Symlin Users ForumKatkat replied to TracySue123's discussion 'Insulin/Symlin mix in pump. Does it work?' in the group Symlin Users Forum"Looks like a quiet bunch here. Did you start on the Symlin yet? I saw another post that you were starting it soon."
Katkat replied to tiffernee's discussion 'Omnipod Tips for a Newbie. :)' in the group OmniPod Users"If I change a pod and immediately put on a new pod, I've never had to push extra insulin or raise basal rates. 1 to 2 units could be terrible for someone that is sensitive to insulin (could send me down to a terrible low). We are all different.…"
Katkat replied to tiffernee's discussion 'Omnipod Tips for a Newbie. :)' in the group OmniPod Users"Omnipod is the only kind of pump I've been on, and it is closing in on two years of wearing it and I love it. I had training from Omnipod/Insulet. A fella came to my home and went over everything with me and that was very helpful. My Endo had…"
Katkat replied to Chris's discussion 'thinking of going tubeless' in the group OmniPod Users"I've been on the pump just about 2 years, and only the Omnipod. I think I have had 3 failures total. As for the 72 hours, if you still have insulin left, they can run another 6 hours or so, but with more frequent reminders in that time frame…"
Katkat replied to DiabeticRunner83's discussion 'Pregnant and on the Pump...' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"I did one pregnancy on shots and the last on the pump. Needed just as much insulin both pregnancies. When I had a high, it stayed higher for longer than I ever wanted it to. The only reason I had better control with the pump is because during my 2nd…"

Katkat replied to Jim's discussion 'The new pods are here!' in the group OmniPod Users"Yeah, I know. But I have enough pods on hand to get me through the fall as it is. I'm just unhappy that they autoshipped me. They've never done that to me before."
Katkat replied to Jim's discussion 'The new pods are here!' in the group OmniPod Users"I go through Edgepark, and they just sent me another 3 month supply of the old pods WITHOUT me even authorizing the shipment. I still have 3 months worth that I haven't even opened yet. :o( I'm feeling frustrated. I just called and they…"
Katkat replied to Kevin's discussion 'Wearing both an Omnipod and Dexcom4' in the group OmniPod Users"Of all the odd things, I wear both and have extremely sensitive skin and other than the temporary redness from the removal, I don't seem to have any issues with the adhesives."
Katkat replied to cbaj43's discussion 'Pod users who also use dexcom cams' in the group OmniPod Users"I have had the Seven Plus for a year and just went to the Dexcom G4. I love my Omnipod and my CGM and couldn't imagine having to do without them. It has helped me so much."
Katkat replied to Tracy's discussion 'Are there any T1 happy with Omnipod?' in the group OmniPod Users"I'm very happy with it. My brother is also a T1 and he has the tubing on his pump. I wear lots of dresses, so having a unit attached to a belt wouldn't be as easy for me. I also have young children so I'm very active. Not having…"
