I am type 2 not type 1 but I am in in the mindset is that I can not say anything unless I test it or have experience with the unit but I like to know the technology I like this review cause it informs me because I hate lows I like the way he talks and informs me I have a sound sensitive mind and his voice does not get to the point of being too high that it bothers me to where I can not watch a video for a decent amount of time. Keep making videos because I love learning about new products and value your opinion on products.
I am on Dash- when the new pod won’t connect I restart the PDM and then it will connect even after the pod is sitting there a few minutes filled with insulin- just go to change pod once PDM restarts and do the steps where you left off (don’t need to hear the 2 beeps again).
I wear omnipod 5 and I love it but I will say as a fellow perfectionist I wish it were more aggressive. I have lows so rarely on this system which is great. Activity mode works well for me if I dont have much IOB, I turn it on about 1 hour before. I have the android app which has the g7 integration, I feel the hold up has been on apple's end. But the compatibility has been really confusing for most people. The evolution algorithm sounds interesting!! I think omnipod needs to introduce lower targets and get the system approved for use during pregnancy
Fantastic thanks for the video, i’m on the DASH right now waiting for the release of the 5 in France, hopefully it will happen soon, in Europe is taking a bit longer, with the UK on the front that’s where i got the dash years ago.. but anyway great video and interesting informations for us T1Ds looking forward to try the OP5
Mylife CamAPS FX goes all the way down to 79mg/dL! However, its only available in EU and Australia AFAIK. Maybe you want to try out that system some time while you're over in Europe. :)
Sport mode is a pain with dblg1 also. Must be a regulatory issue. If I go hiking, it is typically for many hours, and having a target near to 10 mmol (180) mg is really not what I want. And the constant alarms when I approach 5 mmol/dl is a pain... I typically take some fruit paste, but it acts somewhat slowly... in the meantime, every 5 minutes the alarm goes off again. Not nice if one is hiking in snow with gloves, or climbing. Thanks for the video - I'll very likely be on dash pods and DIY in the coming months. I waited 50+ years for that moment. TIR for me is 85%, but I wish it could be better... as for me, staying 2 hours just under 10 mmol's is just not what I want.
ive been on the omnipod 5 over a year and also have the issue with the activity mode. Im in the UK and on the Android and it seems like we are never getting the app. We cant even use the G7 with the pod yet
This is the most ridiculous stuff I have ever heard. I've been in technology for over 30 years. The OmniPod is certified for use with any FDA approved u-100 fast acting insulin, but not with any FDA approved CGM. It's model specific. Which makes no sense other than it's a money grab of some kind. The system should poll the CGM for its ID and authenticate it. That's it. What is so f(*&ing difficult? The system only requires a glucose reading. They are making out to be this big thing when it isn't. Based on what you explained in the video, I'm not impressed with this system at all. And when a new iPhone comes out, the app won't work with it? Seriously? Seems like they have outsourced the development of the software which is causing insane bottlenecks. The device is crap technology and a garbage company managing it. Looks like another company taking advantage of diabetics.
Thank you for sharing your videos and experiences with the community you rock !

Any updates to Tandem’s Sigi Pump and when it may be launched if it hasn’t already?

Would you recommend it I still need to set my mine up
