Omnipod for basal, Kwikpen for bolus?

There are a few things you can do to make it easier. First of all, if you get rid of bolus calcs, and just have preset bolus numbers in it, there are a lot less button pushes needed. You can have general bolus amounts preset and then select one that is close to what you need and scroll up or down to increase or decrease it.

Also, if you take a look at this post - omnipod-getting-past-the-confirm-button-and-doing-stuff-without-looking - you can actually give yourself a bolus without even looking at the PDM. Once you memorize the key sequences, it’s pretty easy. The push buttons make it easy to use without looking, like when driving or if it is under the dinner table.

Anyway, try it without the bolus calcs turned on. You might like it better. That’s how mine is setup.
