Omnipod 5 failures

[Richard F]

Just venting really, I've never had so many pod failures before I started the omnipod 5 and freestyle 2 plus HCL system.
Very rarely lasting 3 days, usually changing after 2 just to be on the safe side. I've just changed one after 12 hrs use, not not for the 1st time, bloody thing giving the scream of death. Annoyingly I managed to delete the freestyle 2 plus sensor with 10 days left to run, while fumbling bleary eyed in the small hours.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Oh dear what a nightmare for you that is dreadful I wonder if it is a faulty batch

Urgh! It’s so annoying.

I’m not on the 5 yet but I get a few bad dash’s every few weeks. Current one isn’t working right I think, giving the insulin a little longer to finish working and then changing.

Which is beyond annoying as in 3 days time at 3-4am it will alarm and wake us up. Or do I wait for a more reasonable time. Not sure.

Make sure you report and get replacements for the faults. Only used 1 libre 2 plus so far and that didn’t work well at all. It’s great tech when it works.
