"Yes, I strongly recommend going to a running store also. They work with you to find out which shoe will work best for you."
"You are not stupid at all, I think you are to be applauded!
Here are a few things that work for me.....
Shoes are soooo important. I would recommend you look into some very good stability shoes. That should help with the positioning.
Also, I think…"
"Here is what works for me...I am very insulin sensitive so I reduce my bolus by 80% preferrably an hour prior to my run. I like to be up in the 140's when I start my run. I have a GU every 3-4 miles, and on long runs I have G2 in one of my fuel…"
diabfighter replied to SandyG's discussion 'Time change on PDM....' in the group OmniPod Users"Wouldn't it resume automatically after the set time? I did suspend for 30 min before time change and forgot to resume it. The Pod made a beep after 30 min and resumed delivery. No big deal, but I wish there is a 10 or 15 min suspend interval."
KC O'Pod replied to SandyG's discussion 'Time change on PDM....' in the group OmniPod Users"I think that they need to add the "suspend" function on the screen where the time/date change is located. Then it would be there as "resume" just as a reminder. Just for convenience sake."
Jeanine S replied to SandyG's discussion 'Time change on PDM....' in the group OmniPod Users"Yeah, and I suspended it and changed the time right before I went to bed. I forgot to resume, and it mustve been alarming me to resume it but I slept right through it. Woke up high!"
jbowler replied to SandyG's discussion 'Time change on PDM....' in the group OmniPod Users"Yes, but then you "resume" it after the time change.
It's a PITA that they really, really need to fix. I don't know why they can't grok the idea of time zones; it's a continuing annoyance while flying. They could even…"
"OK, thanks so much for the instructions as well as the reasoning!"
HPNpilot replied to SandyG's discussion 'Time change on PDM....' in the group OmniPod Users"No, you just suspend, change the time, and re-enable instantly. When you re-enable it reprograms the pod too.
It's silly, but it has to change the pod's notion of time and make sure they are in sync. The pod is keeping track of how much…"
"I was on a 10 mile run yesterday and almost posted here immediately after regarding how great the pod is for runners! :)"
"Hi Lindsay! I switched from injections to the pod about 3 months ago and I am so happy with the pod! I have had no problems at all, and was surprised how quickly I adjusted to it.
I also had some worries after reading about some of the issues…"
Time change on PDM....
So I have to suspend my insulin delivery for a half hour in order to change the time on the PDM? Really??
Jacob's mom replied to SandyG's discussion 'Can I delay my bolus?' in the group OmniPod Users"Hi sandy, i agree with your CDE about lowering your correction factor and like others seem to have suggested in my experience it helps to delay eating only if your bs is high kind of a pain especially with a hungry 13 hear old but i try to have his…"
