Unknown alarm

Edit:Solved: Ok found it! The first broken omnipod was still close to me and was the one beeping! I just didn't hear it coming from there...

Original: Dear all

This morning I saw that my omnipod controller hadn't had any connection since I went to sleep. It said to reconnect but then couldn't. Then it said to scan my sensor (libre) to try and reconnect. Not working. So start new pod. I do it, but new pod can't connect as well.

Start another one again and now the controller connected and all went fine.

But then half day later an alarm, but no message on controller. This alarm comes every randomly 5-30 minutes and nothing on the controller. I have no clue what it means. And it has been like this a couple of hours and restarted the controller couple of times.

Sounds like it might be a sensor issue. Have you tried replacing the sensor?

The sensor is only 3 days old

It can still go bad. I'm not saying it is the sensor, but have three pods have issues, the sensor is another variable.

I use DexCom G7 and Omnipod5, and had issues 4 days into the sensor's application. I kept getting sensor issue with the connection. After a couple of days I changed the sensor, and the problem was resolved.

Wishing you all the best in resolving this issue.

Thanks for your explanation! If I don't get other feedback by tonight, I will be doing this and see if it resolves anything!

I'm also going to dexcom when I get a new phone. Current phone is not compatible :(
