Aw thanks marie ive tried to get in touch with dn today and no-one got back to me was rather upset ,receptionist just said nurses were busy with clinics but a phone call takes minutes just felt totally let down ive had more support off all yous on here sorry for moaning xx@ karen8967 I am so sorry it didn’t work out for you. I’m not sure how much you want to try a pump ever again but some people don’t do well with the cannula and need to use steel sets on tubed pumps to make it work. The sore sites sound like that might have been the issue. I know the Tandem reps here have been good about sending out samples of different infusion sets. You might have been allergic so if you ever want to try again keep steel sets in mind. So sorry it was a bad experience and I hope you feel better soon.
It wasnt adhesive it was the cannula if nurse ever gets back to me i will ask but after 4 phone calls today and messages left i doubt it x also i cant see it being the insulin as had no problems with it b4 pump xIt’s a shame that omnipod doesn’t offer more options for cannulas etc. @karen8967 I hope your team can offer you something else. Have you tried a barrier type product or skin barrier stuff to see if your skin reacts the same? As Marie said, it could be the adhesive or the cannula or the insulin causing a reaction. I hope things settle and there is a solution or a chance to trial another pump.
