forever1- i dont really go out on shabbos but when i do its just for a short time so i leave it home and dont eat wherever i go or just correct when i come home (i dont use the PDM on shabbos as a general thing i use shots…..) and for weddings i give a time release/extended blous (another gr8 feature but i think a lot of pumps have that)i can say how long i want it to drag out for so that way by the time the meal comes its basically all given already. sometimes i have to drink something sugary before the meal comes bec i drop a bit with the insulin without food…. but that doesnt always happen. and then i leave the PDM in my coat or in the bathroom in the corner if its the summer…
its great bec the PDM doesnt need to be close to the pod all the time. only when programming a bolus! so i can leave it wherever i want…..
dx3- i am WAITING for the CGMS combo with omnipod!!! i wish i knew how long we have to wait!!!!!
reb- my ENTIRE family has thyroid issues so i asked my doc abt it and she said that diabetics are at a higher risk for thyroid problems. so dont worry its connected…. but i understand what you are feeling….. i’m waiting for my thyroid issues to start lol….. i feel so left out from my family being the only one with normal thyroid! 😉
