I’m Wondering If Anyone’s Omnipod 5 Tends To Run On The High Side For Blood Sugar Control. I Know Some Pumps Stay In The 100 Range.
The Omnipod I have tends to run above 140? Is this normal for the pod system?
The lowest was 19 but usual lows are in the 40 to 50 range. That is at least two or three times a day. Having low blood sugar can be dangerous. You can easily pass out, become disoriented and it happens very rapidly. I always carry Welches Fruit Snacks with me. They taste good and bring my sugar up pretty quick.
The Omnipod 5 patch pump is designed to help manage blood sugar levels by using tubeless infusion techniques and working with a related blood glucose monitor. It adjusts insulin delivery every five minutes to protect against blood sugar highs and lows. However, individual experiences can vary, and it's important to work Show Full Answer
Oh good. I hope it works for you. Good luck with it. 😊
yes, i have talked to my Dr. I will be switching to a new pump (Tandem Mobi) after the first of the year
Thanks for your reply Michon.
Wow!!! That is low!! You’re right. Low blood sugar is very dangerous. Have you spoken to your doctor about any remedies that could help this situation?
I love the Welch’s fruit gummy snacks as well. They work really well to bring up blood sugar. I usually only need a couple so they last a long time too.
