[QUOTE="Judith Bishop, post: 2283324, member: 137392"] Hi, Yes, I’m encountering huge issues with my latest batch of omnipod pods delivered from February 2020 onwards. Older pods are fine but I only have a couple left. If I leave the pod on for the full three days I have severe skin irritation, so much so my skin is left raw. In fact, I daren’t leave a pod on for more than 24 hours as it is becoming increasingly problematic. I’m using Cavilon no sting spray as a barrier and using Tegaderm Hydrocolloid dressing as a further barrier. I then place my pod on top of this double barrier. This does help but showering or bathing is near impossible because the warm water from the bath/shower means the dressing loosens and the needle escapes from under my skin. High blood sugars result. A worrying & dangerous situation when asleep at night. Edited by moderator for clarity [/QUOTE]
