I’ve been using a Mylife Omnipod system for the past 4/5 years (I’m currently 18) and have started developing problems with it.
I am a horse owner and therefore I am outdoors, in the typical UK winter weather, for numerous hours in the day.
Every so often, when I’m out sorting the horses, my pod fails/screams at me to tell me that an occlusion has occurred.
These occlusions are either occurring because the pod gets too cold or it is getting knocked (I have tried them on my belly and leg).
I have been in touch with both mylife and my hospital. Mylife were rather unhelpful and just told me to keep it warmer. My hospital said that multiple people have been having the same problem.
I was just wondering; would I be better off going back to injections or sticking with the pods in my situation? (very active, hates having the pod stuck to me constantly, always gets the pod caught on tack etc).
