My issues with lows are from the OmniPod... not the Ping.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475891266543305430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114050942344404214.post-32587574807252087532009-08-11T18:31:18.615-04:002009-08-11T18:31:18.615-04:00The I:C ratios in the Ping only go up or down by w...The I:C ratios in the Ping only go up or down by whole units (whereas in the Cozmo you could increase or decrease carb amounts by .5 units). Not much of a change, but enough to really foul up your BG's...as I found out after doing the exact same thing you did (enter my Cozmo paramaters into the Ping). <br /><br />I'm not saying that's the SOLE cause, but it's one contributing factor. Since I couldn't use the exact same I:C ratio, I ended up using 1:7 instead of 1:6.5, and decreased my basal rate slightly, to compensate. <br /><br />Basal rates on the Ping can be increased or decreased by .005 units...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114050942344404214.post-83116778631217645432009-08-11T10:03:28.576-04:002009-08-11T10:03:28.576-04:00I've wondered about the omnipod too, now I'...I've wondered about the omnipod too, now I'm not so sure about it. I have been type 1 for a little over 50 years and am doing well at 54. I've been on the Cozmore pump for about 3+ years and have done very well. I hate to change at all but don't we all.<br /><br />I'm feeling great and am in excellent shape so I'm one of the lucky ones.<br /><br />I may go with Minimed since they seem to be around for the long haul. I don't want to like one again and then they close shop on me.<br /><br />Good luck to you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
