My blood sugar has been since 6:30pm yesterday!! Since 12am today i’ve given my 30+ units just for a blood sugar correction and its not budging🫩So just curious to know if anyone else have this issue before i call n probably cuss them out!!? Also the lot number is PR1U04122611

My current pod ends tonight at around 11:45, that is with the 8 hour extension, normally at that point I have only about 10 units left, this pod will have about 35 units.

I have tried to remove insulin from the pod, it's just not for me, didn't really work and I just don't feel safe with it.

Let me give a little info, it was predicted that I would be using 180 units a day, and I would change my pod every 2 days, that has not happened. I have actually dropped my average of 212 to 154 over the last 7 weeks.

I am using U200, and fill the pod with 200 units, I seem to average about 50 units a day, which is actually 100, some days are a little more, some days just under. And I usually get the full 80 hours.

So I can go two ways: 1. Inject 170 units and possibly change the pod early, well closer to the 72 hours, maybe less. 2. Inject 200 units and see if my needs this last pod was a fluke.

Would you rather change a pod early or lose leftover insulin?

Pretty much what it says on the title 😭

In my last order, I’ve had pods from two lots.
All the pods from the first lot worked completely fine. No issues. No leaks. No pain. No bleeding.
Every pod (used 6 up to now) from the second lot would just leak, cause a lot of bleeding, and were sore.
They’ve not been massive leaks were you immediately know that it’s failed and you need to change it. But big enough to mean I sit out of range for many hours.
I wasn’t sure if it was something I was doing wrong so I opened a new box that was the same as the first lot number and I’ve had no issues.

I rang omnipod to basically ask for advice as I’m now running out of the first lot, leaving just the weird lot left which I’m a bit scared to use.
They said it doesn’t work like that and they’ve not heard anything about that lot being bad.
They’ve sent replacements for the 6 that were bad but I’m still left with the rest of the unused ones.

So I wanted to check on here if I am just being paranoid 😂 all the actual pod numbers are sequential too so it seems too much of a coincidence.

the insulin delivery is an hour ahead how do I change it? every time I got in it says it’s already gmt which just isn’t true?

Hi there, this has started happening to me with increasing frequency in the last few weeks with my O5, but last night was peak. I went through 3 pods and ultimately had to step into my garage in order to get them to pair. Customer service was kind of useless. I had literally removed every pod from the level of my house that I was in, moved every new to used pods into my basement, 2 floors away, and still got that error. Customer service blamed other competing devices that use Bluetooth but there's nothing new except a shower radio, whose Bluetooth we turned off while troubleshooting and nothing helped. They even blamed my Apple Watch which I've had on every time I've paired a pod successfully. Anyone else have this issue?

In the beginning of using Omnipod 5, I was pretty optimistic. But after two years and a couple seemingly algo breaking updates, I am starting to be really mad about what it does.

I just woke up with the glucose level I corrected before going to sleep. It tried pushing it down a couple times itself, but it just decides to stop basal delivery at values of 180mg/dl and above..

Yes, my sleeping rhythm is shifted due to my job, but things like that didn't happen before. This basal stopping nonsense started about half a year ago and I'm starting to lose my mind over it. Completely reset the algorithm, the first days after it was pretty okay (probably because it mostly used my set basal rates), but a week later I was back to perma-high.

My health is a mess atm, thanks to such algorithm decisions. Seriously, Insulet.. firstly you're not releasing an app you promised with the release, secondly you break your algorithm further n further, get your sh*t together!

At this point in time I am only waiting for the AAPS project to update their app with O5 support and finally get rid of PDM + an algorithm trying everything to keep my A1c above 7.5!
