I remember finding your videos after my daughter was diagnosed 11 yrs ago. Henry has grown up to be such a responsible young man. I’m glad you guys are still making these videos! Diabetes supplies has come a long way for sure!
Henry, you’re so cool! I’m a 78 yo retired school counselor…..type 1.5 for 25 years, enjoyed your analysis so much. I’m new to Omnipod 5 , but on Omnipod’s for 3 years, cannot get training until March 26. You have inspired me to go ahead with online videos. Thank you! Good luck to you, the way you handle this health challenge is AWESOME😁👍
PS Mom, you deserve a trophy for the way you solve “life”;with Henry! I, too, have iron infusions…injectafer…for eight years now. So glad they are working for you❤️
I love my Omnipod 5! One thing I do is put enough insulin to last through the extra 8 hours that it gives you before you have to change it. That way, you get an extra 24 hours for every 3 pods, which lets you build up a “back-up” supply for travel or delays in prescriptions getting refilled.
Yes! Life changing! We started around the same time you did and I got tears listening to your one month update as a parent because same girl, same!! ❤
Sounds so life changing! Your diabetes videos are so special. Those newly fighting the fight are so lucky to find your channel.
Agree! Life changing for all of us! The expense and the trash it put's into. the landfill are the only downsides.
I don't know what your insurance copay is for Omnipod 5 refills, but when I first started 200 units only lasted me two days, never the full 72 hours, much less the grace period of 8 hours after the 72. I asked my endocrinologist if she could send a prior authorization for additional pods and she did, so now I never have a shortage of pods because I get a refill every 20 days, instead of every 30 days. It just costs me an additional copay, which for my plan is $35. Something that for me, is well worth it just because life happens. You could ask your doctor about that and try it with your insurance.
Also, when you change the pod and it goes into limited automated mode, try restarting the PDM. I always do that and when it restarts and I log into the screen with the pin It has changed to automated. So happy Henry is loving it!!
I'm so happy for you!
I'm so happy for you guys!!❤
Thank you for the information. Henry is awesome.
I like having a separate receiver because at work then people don’t assume I’m texting on my phone.
I'm so glad that your life has changed for the better since the omnipod and your iron infusions!! You deserve this!! ❤🎉 Henry you are AMAZING!!❤ I will add Henry is AWESOME#, because I commented b4 the end😊
I've been on Tandem for years with Control IQ. I decided to trial the Omnipod 5. I've tried it for 4 months and I really can't get below 156 as an average. The algorithm just isn't working well for me. So frustrating. But I like Tandem too. So I'm thankful to have that and then Omnipod 5 as a backup! ❤❤❤ I hope things continue to go well for you!
Thanks for posting
our endo dr told us this week that the iphone app for omnipod 5 should be ready towards the end of this year. I hope that actually happens because it's a pain for our son to have to carry 2 devices. The omnipod 5 has made our life much easier and everyone gets more sleep at night.
Great to hear it's going well for Henry. #HenryIsAwesome
I just got the dex 7 😀in April
Technology is so awesome these days!
I love my OmniPod 5. There are days I only touch my controller to eat other wise it’s doing any micro corrections and suspension of insulin for me!
I’m still on old Omni pods do to insurance changes had to get pods from other type 1’s that don’t need anymore.. waiting to go to new ENDO at the end of month
Loved seeing this! #henryisawesome He really is, and so mature. So wonderful to hear that he's doing well on OP5 and that you get to sleep. :)
Supposedly Omnipod is going to have an O5 app for the iPhone very soon which will allow you to ditch the "controller." I use DIY Loop with Dash pods, Dexcom G7, and my iPhone and it's awesome. I can leave the house with just my iPhone and some fast-acting glucose gel in my pocket.
It has never asked the question what is your total daily dose. It gets your TDD from the basal program you enter on the first day. You add up your basal for 24 hours then double it and that’s your Total Daily Dose.
Thank you! I've been waiting for this video - you covered pretty much every question I had. Glad to hear exercise mode works for you.
Would you be willing to share your change in hbA1c after going on the Omnipod 5? Ie if it goes up/down by a little or by a lot. The main thing stopping me switching right away is worrying mine will increase when I start using it because of that 110 target.
In one month A1c went from 7.0 to 6.7
I am getting my Op5 i start my training July 5
Hey guys!
Sleep-full nights 🙏🙏🙏🙏😍 so amazing. We have a pump like that too its just called something else. We LOVE it
Did you end up changing his ratios and making them more aggressive?
Yes, his I:c ratios.
Wait hold on... There is a PDM for it? My educator told me I had to use a compatible phone. Does he have to keep the pod and the G6 directly next to it?
Yep, it is suppose to come with a controller. No, they do not need to be near it to work
In fact, Henry was outside playing with water and a small pool and came in the house because his pod was beeping urgent low. We had no idea because it wasn't connected. How cool is that? We love it
#henryisawesome !! so is mom :)
