Pro Tips: Keep Your Insulin Flowing and Your Loop Looping
 | |
Uh Oh! You're on the go and your pod just got knocked off!
Insulin syringes kept in your glovebox, purse, or other handy place can be used to inject insulin pulled out of a faulty or fallen-off pod. If you find yourself in this situation, you can continue receiving predictions and dosing suggestions from Loop. Just set a manual temp basal of 0 U/hr and input your injected doses into Loop via the Non-Pump Insulin tab (a feature of Loop 3). This way, you'll be in great shape between pods and after you get the new one up and running.

This is what insulin syringes look like. They have a small volume- much smaller than the syringes used to fill pods, typically 0.5 - 1 cc. Many people who were diagnosed in recent years were not prescribed these but they should be considered an essential tool, as they come in very handy on occasion.
