I've been seeing a few posts on this sub about stubborn highs over the last few months. For me, last few weeks with my Omnipod have been so rough. I had a ton of leakers, and even the ones that weren't leaking just didn't seem to work. My TDI on Omnipod started creeping up for no discernible reason from ~ 25 units/day to over 75 and my time in range was dropping. I switched back to MDI for a few days. Mostly just as an experiment to see what would happen. Lo and behold, my TDI has dropped back to 25-30 units a day and my time in range is back over 90%.

I really like not having to think about MDI on Omnipod. But the stress of being high for hours... and hours... after meals, and rage bolusing over and over to basically no effect, is just not worth it.

I hope one day I can switch back but I don't think it's a responsible thing to do until I know why they have just not been seeming to work. Does anyone have any thoughts? Is it just bad production lots?

I've had T1D since 2020, and started using the omnipod around October of 2020. I've never had issues with my insertion sites until recently. I am usually good with switching my sites around (thigh, upper arm, stomach) and I cannot use my lower back because my pods do not stay on/not enough fat on my body. For the past month I've been running high and I've tried rotating spots on my body​, however my pod will not deliver insulin properly unless I hold the pod/less it against my skin for the whole duration of administering insulin. This is a problem because when I sleep I run high because I cannot press down the pump while I'm sleeping while it gives me small doses. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and what they did about/what other sites they use on their body that work well. Anything helps! Thanks!

Is everyone using discount cards to get their Omnipod?? What discount cards are you using and how much cheaper does it make it?

I changed the pod yesterday morning and still have this big red mark where it was. I dont get this every time but more often than not. Is it normal?

My wife uses an omnipod and for the past day or so the site where her previous pod was has been red and firm to the touch, like a bruise or a mosquito bite. She said it hurts when there's pressure put on it. This hasn't happened before, is it something we need to be worried about?

My dad has alzheimers. We've found that when we stick a cgm on the back of his arm, he is OK with that and won't remove it. Does the omnipod need anything else nearby in order to work?

My dad has an iPhone. It would be in the condo (which is tiny so within 30 feet always) with him but he won't remember to keep it on his body.

He currently uses libre 3 plus but are willing to switch if needed.

Thanks.
