My son is getting his first CGM & it's on the way. First, I read on a thread (that I can't seem to find) that we need special tape to help hold/keep the sensor down. And I also read that a…Continue

Mom 2 Kyle replied to Mom 2 Kyle's discussion 'Kickin' DP's butt with the Omnipod! :)' in the group OmniPod Users"Also, the CGM can be set to vibrate so there are no beeps at all. AND my son turns the "high" alert off completely while he's at school (no beep or vibrate). The only time that it will ALWAYS alarm is if it drops below 50 (or 55) ...…"

Mom 2 Kyle replied to Mom 2 Kyle's discussion 'A1c went up on the Pod. :(' in the group OmniPod Users"So, are 17 and 18 the two most used calibration codes to try? Just curious, how/who ever figured this out? I am in a group on facebook and it started a very heated debate when someone mentioned to change the calibration code on the PDM! LOL"
Mom 2 Kyle replied to Mom 2 Kyle's discussion 'A1c went up on the Pod. :(' in the group OmniPod Users"Do you just change the calibration to 17 once on the PDM and it stays there? So 17 & 18 are the two calibrations that it can be changed to? Maybe I'll try to play with the calibration numbers this weekend and see what we get. BTW what did…"
Mom 2 Kyle replied to Mom 2 Kyle's discussion 'Kickin' DP's butt with the Omnipod! :)' in the group OmniPod Users"Do you think he would wear one for a week?? You can ask your endo. for one to wear for a week just to see what his numbers look like at night so you can make basal adjustments. That's how we got hooked! Kyle relied on it so much that week that…"
"How do you even carry all that?? O.o
Also, what app if you don't mind me asking?"
Jacob's mom replied to Mom 2 Kyle's discussion 'Kickin' DP's butt with the Omnipod! :)' in the group OmniPod Users"the problem with jacob is he never wanted a CGM and he hates it when i test him overnight, i did test him once last week at 2 am i believe he had a fresh pod on and he stayed flat all night! he actually had three mornings this week under 200 105-168…"
Mom 2 Kyle replied to Mom 2 Kyle's discussion 'Kickin' DP's butt with the Omnipod! :)' in the group OmniPod Users"My son has been accepted into the Engineering Academy at our local high school for next year (can't believe he starts HS next year). Sounds like our boys have a few things in common. :)

Jacob's mom replied to Mom 2 Kyle's discussion 'Kickin' DP's butt with the Omnipod! :)' in the group OmniPod Users"thanks for taking the time to post they are pretty close jacobs total basal is 19! but he gets a bit more a night less during the day.... always a work in progress just when i was going to tweek again he had a 120 this morning, he has a doc apt in a…"
Mom 2 Kyle replied to Stress's discussion 'PDM Failure' in the group OmniPod Users"I'm thinking a paper clip is going to be a part of my son's kit too!"
"Also something I'll keep in mind. I almost always make it a glucose tab or juice, so it is generally gonna be a bit quicker, but I'm always pretty impatient/ornery when I'm low... :p my girlfriend does a good job of keeping me in line…"
Mom 2 Kyle replied to Mom 2 Kyle's discussion 'Kickin' DP's butt with the Omnipod! :)' in the group OmniPod Users"IF you aren't crazy low, try to wait 20-25 min. before you test. That's about how long it takes my son to respond to a snack (unless it's a glucose tab and then it's faster)."
Mom 2 Kyle replied to Mom 2 Kyle's discussion 'Kickin' DP's butt with the Omnipod! :)' in the group OmniPod Users"Interestingly enough (at least I find it interesting) is that he used to get 19 units of Lantus every night and with his current basal setting he is getting 19.85 units every day. It's just the timing that's different.
OK, now my son had a…"
"Hmm good thoughts. I'll definitely have to give that a try. There are times I need to do the 15/wait 15 cycle for an hour before my sugar is in range.... Then I'm really in for some high BGs later in the day/night. It can really be a mess…"
