[QUOTE="patparry, post: 2538939, member: 417320"] I use Omnipod Dash and change the pod in the morning every third day. About an hour after the change my sugar level starts to rise and this continues through the next twelve hours or so, needing several boluses but not dropping below about 12 or 13 despite them. Then, during the night, it's as if the insulin 'catches up' and I end up with a hypo. By the next morning I'm fine and the next two days (until the next pod change) are stable. I'm tempted to take a bolus from the 'old' pump just before I make the change but - just occasionally - the sugar level rise doesn't happen and I'm concerned that I'll cause a hypo. I have site problems after sixty years of injections and then cannula insertions but can't see how this would cause an initial rise and then what seems to be OK absorption. Is this a problem for anyone else? [/QUOTE]
