Hi guys,
So I am currently on the Omnipod and have been since February last year. I've not really had any problems with it at all, maybe the odd few times where my pump will break and do that continuous beep until I stop it and change my pump.
Anyway, I started working as a Ride Operator a few weeks ago meaning I am around a lot of machinery. The first week or two were fine, no problems with my pump. Recently, however, my pump has started to fail every single day. Whenever I go into a quiet place, I notice that my pumps beeping and I have to change it which is annoying when you're working for around 7 hours a day and I have no time to be away from my ride.
I'm yet to speak to the hospital about this issue and I'm really considering going back onto injections so it doesn't affect my work. Is it the rides and the machines that are constantly setting my pump off or is it just a coincidence? What could be interfering with my pump??
Would really appreciate useful and helpful comments.
