[QUOTE="Jollymon, post: 2364317, member: 480011"] I have site issues. Too many cannula failures. With a pump with a separate infusion set I just changed it, and I’m good to go until it needs to be changed again. I was excited for the pod for its angled cannula, and it’s shorter cannula length. But you don’t get to control the angle. Installing the pod was also super easy- like that a lot! But I had site issues, and couldn’t get them to last 3 days. For the failures that I had, I didn’t know to suck the insulin out of the pod. So I just sent them back to Omnipod full. And I ran out of insulin! My pharmacy said I could not refill my insulin supply after I ran out. I had to wait a month. But I was out! It really sucked. I had to beg for a sample bottle from a doctor’s office. And that’s when I learned- you need to suck the pods dry with the filler syringe instead of loosing that insulin. [/QUOTE]
