Omnipod panic

My insulin usage has gone from over 100 units a day to three times this week – 7 units.

If you look at the Omnipod documentation, it’s only been approved for usage of 6 units a day.

Yes….

For those of you who stumbled on this post, I was diagnosed in 2002, and was put on insulin shortly after.

My heaviest weight is 320. I’m at 215.

This miracle has been accomplished by using Mounjaro. Between Mounjaro, my weight loss and my activity level, I don’t use as much insulin.

I felt like I needed a plan but I couldn’t figure out how to ask for the plan through the portal. I also thought we need a conversation.

We did.

We’ve decided to keep using the Omnipod and see what happens between now and the next appointment.

We also decided to up my dose of Mounjaro when it needs to be refilled, since I have one pen and two boxes left. I’ll let you know what the Omnipod does when I get to less than 6 units.
