Yes, the difference in the situation I’m talking about in my example is that I can SOMETIMES not even have to put on the new POD until the morning…or at least 3 or 4 hours after the old POD has fully expired. And I tend to give more insulin with a new POD because, for us, they aren’t as effective when first applied…it takes some hours/a day for the site saturation to get dialed in.

It’s a preference thing I guess, but during the night only (the only time we do this), we wouldn’t do it the other way because we aren’t wanting to put on the new pod immediately.
