Omnipod rash

[spell]

The adhesive on the omnipod is causing red rash sore and itchy and causing infections, running out of places to stick it.
Am NOT going back to injections, this is not an option

Have you tried any barrier creams or sprays or anything under your pump?
For example, I use hyperfix tape under my pump because I react to the adhesive.

I use hypafix over sensors (available via Amazon) and get on well with it.

Do you cut a hole in it @helli to fire the Cannula through?

People always used to recommend Cavilon cream/spray too.

My cannula pierces the tape so I do not need to cut a hole in it. This is good because I find any pump glue that comes into contact with my skin really itches.
I initially tried Cavilon but it was not enough for me. However, it is a good start. Plus you could use both tape and cavilon.
