I just looked at my BG and it is 80. I looked at it after I heard the pod clicking. Under "Auto Events" I see it is still giving me several small doses. 0.1, 0.15. Why does my IOB not go up after these doses? I thought it was always trying to keep you at 110? I mean it's doing a great job keeping me around 80 right now, but I did not think it was supposed to operate this way.
So I had to change sensors last night. I moved it to the other arm to rotate sites but the pod is still on left side but doesn’t expire until tonight. It’s not getting numbers from the Dexcom and operating in Limited mode. Geez I hate to waste a day on a pod just to switch sides, but my glucose spiked out of range. How do you guys handle this?
I'm on day 11 of the pod. The first couple of days I saw some improvement. The first revelation was that I could give less than a unit boluses. I've always been nervous injecting larger doses of insulin. Now I actually carb count and am learning all about that. Entering Custom foods is so helpful (I wish there was a built in searchable database for common foods). I've been in range near 100% the past few days and using a lot less insulin. To be fair, I'm eating better too as I don't want to go out of range. The whole thing feels as close to a cure as I've ever felt.
