"I just bolus a bit more if I am eating before strenuous exercise or check during and bolus a small amount if it is going up. Sorry....not very scientific, I know. I'd guess it has something to do with stress."

Melinda replied to Nic Croucher's discussion 'Insulin Absorbtion' in the group Omnipod Users"My endo also told me that intense exercise raises my blood sugar for a few hours and then it comes back down? This is annoying! Do you know why and anything to prevent it??"
Nic Croucher replied to Nic Croucher's discussion 'Insulin Absorbtion' in the group Omnipod Users"I thought through the bad insulin thing and the location. I ran into the dreaded: "Occlusion detected" on the pod this evening and noticed a lot of leakage so I am hoping that with a fresh pod in a fresh location with newer insulin will…"
elaine peterson replied to Nic Croucher's discussion 'Insulin Absorbtion' in the group Omnipod Users"I know that any intense work out raises my blood sugar temporarily, but I assume you are talking about increased insulin need all day. Have you started any new supplements? I remember reading here that some vitamins and supplements can raise blood…"
Eric Rizzo replied to Nic Croucher's discussion 'Insulin Absorbtion' in the group Omnipod Users"If you've only noticed it recently, have you tried a different vial or batch of insulin? As Mat suggested, old or deteriorating insulin could be a factor."
Nic Croucher replied to Nic Croucher's discussion 'Insulin Absorbtion' in the group Omnipod Users"I might try location...I just got the new PDM too so I might not have transferred the settings over correctly either. I'll go over all the calcs again to see if I have them correctly entered, perhaps create different bolus programs for…"
tony replied to Nic Croucher's discussion 'Insulin Absorbtion' in the group Omnipod Users"Same happend to me, I lost 64 pounds. Before I was using from 55u lantus whent down to 25u, and the boluces where 25 with each meal now 9, well that was when I was on MDI's. Now with the Omnipod my overall insulin intake daily is around 50u…"
Mat replied to Nic Croucher's discussion 'Insulin Absorbtion' in the group Omnipod Users"I've found the opposite, as I gain muscle and lose fat I need less insulin, which would suggest that it has something to do with the delivery, either pod placement or possibly old insulin. You should experiment with different spots to figure it…"

So I decided to go back to school to get my Masters. Huh? Crazy! I am taking two classes now and I am struggling to keep my head afloat. Why did I do this to myself?. Then on Monday and Wednesday evening the band gets together for practice and Tuesdays is Cubs scouts with my son (I am the Bears Den leader, woot!). This Thursday I have a lady that needs some computer work done on her home computer and Friday night we have dinner with some friends we haven't seen in a while. WOW! Of course during… Continue

In an attempt to understand how others view me as "the diabetic" and vice versa, I found this site and have learned so much about how powerful the Internet can be in this regard. I work in Information Technology but never used the Internet as a resource for my disease until now. I sometimes have bad things happen that I wish I had better understanding or control over, mood swings, crazy thoughts (epiphanies?!?), irritability, low blood sugars, are all part of this excursion. I was always a fit… Continue
