TracySue123 replied to boulderbird's discussion 'What kind of pump?'"I chose Omnipod for many of the reasons already mentioned. I really hated the idea of tubing so I stuck with MDI until the new smaller pods came out and have been very happy with it. I carry an insulin pen with me as a back-up but haven't had a…"

TracySue123 replied to Tinman17's discussion 'High Sugar'"Yupper. That's what I do. Being on the Omnipod has made that a lot easier."
TracySue123 replied to Tinman17's discussion 'High Sugar'"If you shoot for a safe number then you get a little wiggle room. I use 1 unit of Humalog for every 10 carbs I eat. If I test at 75 before eating I use a little less and if I test at 175 I will use a little more. I aim for 100. That way if I over…"
TracySue123 replied to Tinman17's discussion 'High Sugar'"The V-Go is for Type 2 but if you decide to get a pump there are lots of options.
I agree with Zoe. The most important thing to focus on right now is to get you on that fast acting insulin. It might take a little while before you start feeling…"

I am going to ask if I can get a V-Go for the Symlin. Then I will have a total of 3 things stuck to my body. Omnipod, Dexcom G4 and then the…"
Katkat replied to TracySue123's discussion 'Insulin/Symlin mix in pump. Does it work?' in the group Symlin Users Forum"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…"
