Hello!
As I suspect many others here are, I am also a reddit refugee. Anyway, to the point.
I am seeking advice in what I can do about the insane spike I get a couple hours after I change my Omnipod. It’s a new phenomenon for me, having only happened the last 4 or 5 changes. I’ve been on Omnipod for a little over 6 months.
My theory so far is that any new site is quite a bit longer to start absorbing insulin for some reason. I used to just have to bolus 0.5 units after a change, but to get down from this spike I ended up having 10.65 units on board, which is a scary amount for me if I don’t have any carbs to back it up.
Have anyone experienced similar, and found a way to deal with it?
Thank you!
Woah, 10units with no carbs is scary. I hope you're alright now.
I'd assume this is just a one off.
Nah, this was 3 site changes in a row. All the same. As I said in another comment, I think it was just that my thighs were "tired". But time will tell today.
