[QUOTE="Tom.thomas61, post: 2139535, member: 461220"] I have been on the omnipod for roughly 2 months now, and so far I have had fairly good results. I have had one or two pods that have not agreed with me (left red Mark's where the insertion was.) It is worth sitting down with your diabetes specialist to see if you need different correction setting through out the day! I know during the day while I'm more active I don't need much insulin to correct, where as during an evening/any weekend I am less active and more Insulin is needed to correct! Could also be down to absorption rates also. Over the last 10 years I used to only Inject into my muffin top, which after education I found there was plenty of other places I could inject. But insulin doesn't absorb very well in those areas anymore. This will potentially be the same with the omnipod if you don't change sites often. Stick with it, going back to mdi should be the last resort after seeking help from the professionals. [/QUOTE]
