[Diabetes-Talk] re question about dexcom and insulin

[Veronica Elsea]

I am not aware that Dexcom will calculate long-acting insulin doses. I know
there are some smart pens that do calculations but I think even they only
deal with short-acting insulin. This would kind of make sense as the
long-acting doses are usually prescribed without changing very often. It's
the short-acting that vary in responses to food and other circumstances.
Let's just hope you get your Omnipod 5 stuff soon.

Gary,

I would advise you to ask your Diabetic Educator or doctor about this.  This
is a major change to your insulin regime that only they can professionally
advise you on how to manage correctly.
