Sorry you are having a rough time @bkit. Keep your chin up.

So you are on the omnipod 5, and the Dexcom g6?
Do you know how to do basal and bolus testing?
If you eat no carbs do you stay level?

As others have said, use the blood testing for lows, and try pens for food, spilt out the dose.

Overnight my BG is fine (assuming it's not one of the few bizarre nights where it just starts dropping when I head up to bed!) although the pod is part of the loop at the moment, so it's always changing up the basal, if you will. One of the big benefits of the pod has been pretty much the eradication of night hypos, which I used to get a lot of, and generally a straight horizontal line at a reasonable BG level.
