[QUOTE="Binary, post: 1858279, member: 244920"] My son is in his third year using the Omnipod and the last year pod problems seem a lot higher then the first couple of years. I have wondered if they have changed factory or changed materials during this time. When I recently reported several pod screamers (Just before they left Ypsomed) the error information indicated that the pods had occlusions. They kept asking me about if I rotated sites etc but also kept telling me that we should be pincing the skin to help the the cannula insert. In the end I went back to manual and was surprised to find this was in the instructions for starting a new pod. If you haven't been pincing the skin maybe that will help. I would suggest trying a pod from a new box back as you have been experiencing problems for the last 4/5 months it is unlikely to make a difference. I would encourage you to report every problem to Insulet even though the process can be a little painful, if there are issues with the manufacturing of the pods then they will not be address if we don't report them. When the pods are working well it can give great control but when it doesn't and you have several problems in a short space of time it can be so frustrating especially when it has such a negative effect on your bloods.
