Try an activation bolus. Put it on before a meal, and then take a meal bolus.

Taking a bolus right after putting it on seems to help it get started for me.

> My only concern with tubing is to be attached every day all day. For a couple months sure but having a tube all the time just seems super annoying. I’m sure I will get use to it as thousands of other on the site have.

Tubing pretty much kills any other pump option for me. That’s just my choice, but I can’t deal with the tubes.

The pods are about like a Dexcom sensor to me, as far as comfort. If you can get used to wearing a sensor in the same spot for 7+ days, wearing a pod in the same spot for 3 days is pretty easy.
