A sensitive question to omnipod users...
Started this discussion. Last reply by Janet Sep 23, 2009. 2 Replies 0 Likes
Hello all! I am new to the forum, and looking for some input from omnipod users. I am weeks away from getting an omnipod, and I have a question I couldn't really ask my diabetes educator! So....how…Continue

EricG6410 replied to Maggie Mountsier's discussion 'Insanity' in the group Athletic Diabetics"Its a high intensity general physical preparedness program (GPP). Its along the same lines as p90x or crossfit. Pretty much it is a varied routine of bodyweight movements done at high intensity. For someone who has never really exercised at even a…"
KatiebirdMN replied to Maggie Mountsier's discussion 'Insanity' in the group Athletic Diabetics"Insane amounts of cardio, using your own body. Jumping, pushups, etc."
Sindhilicious replied to Maggie Mountsier's discussion 'Insanity' in the group Athletic Diabetics"What does the Insanity work out involve?"
Bradford replied to Maggie Mountsier's discussion 'Insanity' in the group Athletic Diabetics"Glad to help! I'd try to take some notes at first here about what your number is before exercise, what time you did basal reductions, what those reductions were, how long they were, the type of activity you did, etc. All of these may help you…"
Maggie Mountsier replied to Maggie Mountsier's discussion 'Insanity' in the group Athletic Diabetics"I had no idea that that's how I should do a temp basal reduction! This will help me with all activity (I take spinning classes too), not just Insanity! Thank you SO much!"
Bradford replied to Maggie Mountsier's discussion 'Insanity' in the group Athletic Diabetics"Couldn't recall if you had switched over to the pod yet or not.
Remember that when making basal changes, the insulin going into your body won't be utilized for 60 to 90 minutes. So if you want to work out at 6 pm, you should make your…"
Maggie Mountsier replied to Maggie Mountsier's discussion 'Insanity' in the group Athletic Diabetics"I am on an OmniPod pump, and even though I turned my basal off before, during, and for a bit after the workout, I still went low and continued to stay there! The protein/carb snack afterwards sounds like a good idea. I'm going to try it again…"
Bradford replied to Maggie Mountsier's discussion 'Insanity' in the group Athletic Diabetics"Are you still on shots right now? If that's the case, I'm not sure in the short term how to handle the lows outside of keeping glucose on hand. You might try treating the initial lows with juice (or some other quick-acting glucose) and…"

Insanity
I tried the Insanity workout last night.....and I can't move today I am so sore! I am seriously considering investing in this system. The only problem I had with it (other than how hard it is) is that in the 12 hours since I did the workout, my BGs have not been above 70, even though I keep treating the lows! I suppose this is a good sign because the workout must have kicked my metabolism into high gear, but I'm tired of the orange juice treatments. Has anyone here tried this program…See More
Jessica C replied to Maggie Mountsier's discussion 'Pod expiration -- can you go a few hours longer?' in the group OmniPod Users"i went almost an entire extra day with one once...the battery is not an issue its just that the pod "knows" and starts to beep like crazy"
johnnyjumpstart replied to Maggie Mountsier's discussion 'Pod expiration -- can you go a few hours longer?' in the group OmniPod Users"I try to stretch it out for 8 hours whenever practical. Over the course of time it helps make up for pods I've accidently knocked off."
elaine peterson replied to Maggie Mountsier's discussion 'Pod expiration -- can you go a few hours longer?' in the group OmniPod Users"I extend mine the extra 8 hours 9 out of 10 times. Very occasionally I will see my #'s start to rise and then I will go ahead and change it. The site can get a little inflammed and hinder insulin absorption. I will change it out to suit my…"

Kate replied to Maggie Mountsier's discussion 'Pod expiration -- can you go a few hours longer?' in the group OmniPod Users"my CDE said 6 hours after the 3 days and it will totally die....haven't pushed it that far yet so I'm not sure?"
