This works for me to. I just apply light pressure to the pod before clicking the button

When i moved from omnipod dash to omnipod 5 I did just let it do its thing and it worked.

Congrats, brilliant news. I received an email to say that if my pdm was not compatible with libre 2 then I would receive an email with information to upload the new software. Hope this helps.

I know, it's exhausting

Hiya, yes, you can always ask its just whether or not they think it will be beneficial to you to change
