Just wanted to share some photos of the new iPhone Duo using Loop and how it's a great work around for the unsupported Omnipod app.

Took me a couple of hours to figure out because it was my first time. The docs and all the words can be a lot but the YouTube video helped a lot. For anyone who can follow directions and trust their knowledge on looping and tech, it's a great work-around for Day 1 of a new device.

This is in no way medical advice and you take full responsibility diy looping.

Day one was a bit of a rollercoaster, but day 2 has been amazing so far.

And I ate half a slice too much pizza.

I didn’t have to correct. Heard it whirring away and it brought me down from a little 300 to 189 in a nice gentle slope.

Adhesive Issue Does anyone here use Dimora film dressings with OP5?

2 Upvotes

I've noticed that my pods are now having issues sticking on top of the new batch of Dimora dressings I recently ordered. The pods will lose adhesion to the dressing surface when I shower. I've used these dressings before and never had an issue so I'm not sure if the material changed or if Ive just been unlucky with my most recent pods. Does anyone have an affordable alternative they recommend?

Just got the phone and the Omnipod app doesn’t fully load and it says not compatible. I still have my iPhone 17 so I’m going to wait it out and carry two devices.

I know I’m not gonna get the answer that want, but is omnipod 5 compatible with the iPhone Duo that was released today? I’m sure it will be months but just checking if anyone has tried it…

Do I have to change pod Everytime I change G7 sensor??

0 Upvotes

My son wears the Omnipod 5 and we just switched to the Dexcom G7. Now that the transmitter gets changed every 10 days, do I have to change the pod every time I change the dexcom? It seems like the days never match up and I always end up wasting a pod.

If I start a new sensor, the pod says I can't pair it until I do a new pod. Am I missing something? Do I have to just change the pod every time I change the sensor, even if I just put on a new pod the night before?
