U200 Humalog and OmniLoop?

Yes, I use the Humalog U 200 in my Omnipod. At first it was thought I would have to change my pod every 2 days so my endo prescribed me the Humalog U 200 to use in it. I liked it so even though I didn’t end up needing it I stayed with it.

The settings when you first set it up can be confusing. My endo and her NP were both type 1’s and prescribed it all the time for a lot of their Omnipod users. You can do the reprogramming yourself but just make sure you switch everything, I was happy to have their help with the programming when I first changed to it.

You have to half some items but double others. You have to remember the insulin dose in the pen is by unit, but by volume it is half the liquid because it is double potency.

If you are going to stay on it I’d say it was worth it, but if it’s just to use up a few pens I’m not so sure. Plus it can be confusing to someone not used to it.

It has also been discussed some on this thread.
