I suggest asking Insulet; they’ve been touting this for coming on four years now: [https://diatribe.org/insulet-omnipod-dash-system-to-add-touchscreen-and-bluetooth](https://diatribe.org/insulet-omnipod-dash-system-to-add-touchscreen-and-bluetooth) (The second bullet point on that page, but they media-blasted the work with Lilley the year before.) If you run U100 for 1 to 1.5 days then U200 in the same device will run 2 to 3 days, but to make that happen you have to carefully go through every setting and divide, or multiply, by two, and you have to get it right. There’s no setting in the Dash PDM that I can see for setting the insulin strength, though I would guess there is a secret setting for doing so. There’s no magic; it is just a wireless subcutaneous fluid delivery system. They train their own non-diabetic employees using saline solutions and the pod doesn’t stop working. I am slightly weirded out that it takes them 4 years _not_ to get approval for U200 or U500 insulin. Oh: update, here’s the FUD thread: > [@U200 Insulin in Pumps](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/u200-insulin-in-pumps/4518): > > So in another thread @Eric said This got me thinking. Gary Scheiner did a trial a couple of years back - and said that it was good - but no real comment about the benefits. My question is… Apart from Humalog are there other U200 rapid acting analogs available? Does U200 have better absorbtion characteristics than U100? Is this a solution for folks like @Beacher who cannot take large boluses from an omnipod due to leakage around the cannula? I know that the next generation of Omnipod PDM… Also way old, but you’ve seen that one already. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/humalog-u-200-and-omnilooping/9015)._
