[QUOTE="Tweety88, post: 2121606, member: 405524"] I have the Omnipod, and when it works- it’s great! But I constantly seem to have problems with high blood sugars and I know I have bolused right etc. It seems that every 2-2.5 days I will have a high (16mmol) that I just CANNOT get down. Today I had this after lunch, I noticed a red patch round the cannula so I changed it as I knew I wouldn’t be absorbing properly. I changed it- correction dose and +95% temp basal, down to 12.6 before tea and now before bed I am 19.8!!!!!! I know I have bolused correctly for what I have eaten and I know it’s as a result of this afternoons pod failure! (I have spoken to Omnipod and they have no suggestions!) i know My rates etc are fine because on the ‘in between days’ it’s perfect! However this happens once every 3 days- minimum! And I can’t cope anymore! Last time I over corrected and then was low! I just don’t know what to do! I’m contemplating going back onto pens as I’ve had enough of this!!!!!! No one has any advice to help me, this is my last ditch attempt of I’m coming off it- I’m done!! Any advice please! As I’ve been struggling with this forever! Overall my control is good- but I can’t do this every couple of days!!! [emoji24][emoji35] [/QUOTE]
