Hi everyone,

I’m currently using the Omnipod with Fiasp (ultra-rapid insulin). My total basal rate is 20 units per day.  
Unfortunately, I’m dealing with a supply shortage and, for the first time in about 12 years, I’ll need to switch back to a long-acting insulin until my next Omnipod shipment arrives. Luckily, I always keep some Toujeo pens at home as a backup.  
I just want to make sure I’m not missing anything, so I have a few questions:

Do I simply take 20 units of Toujeo, since that’s my total daily basal amount on the pump?  
Is Toujeo typically taken once daily and does it last for about 24 hours? If my shipment is still delayed, would I just take the next dose 24 hours later?  
My current Omnipod expires this evening. Should I take the Toujeo injection when the pod expires?  
When switching from a pump to Toujeo, did you use the same number of units as your total pump basal, or did you have to adjust the dose? If so, by roughly how much?  
Any other tips or things I should be aware of when temporarily switching from a pump back to injections?

I know this isn’t a substitute for medical advice, but I’d really appreciate hearing how others have handled this situation.

Thanks in advance!
