I’m forced to go back to pens because my Omnipod 5 isn’t working two out of three times now (have I developed lipodystrophy or resistance everywhere? I apply cream, change injection sites, but I don’t know what else to do). Since I have to go back to basal insulin, I’d like to know which one carries the lowest risk of hypoglycemia and offers the most freedom to “customize” the dose. I’ve heard that some people split the dose in half, using half at night and half during the day. Which insulin works well with this approach? The ones covered by my regional health plan are: Tresiba, Toujeo, Lantus, and Detemir.

I don't know what to do anymore, with omnipod every change now ALMOST ALWAYS one or two pods don't work and they send me very high blood sugar. I know it's the pod and not the algorithm because it always starts to squirt by itself since I change the pod. Then, I finally find one that works and the blood sugar returns to normal, but in the meantime I've been in hyperglycaemia for half a day. I put cream for lipodystrophies, I rotate the sites, I don't know what else to do. Before it happened to me every tot (like every two weeks) randomly, sending me to over 400 after numerous corrections. adessp really happens every three days, I change it immediately as soon as I see the abnormal increase, but anyway in the meantime it goes high. It can't be that I have lipodystrophy right everywhere... then it happened even after putting it on my belly, an area that I never use. Is this happening to anyone else? I really don't know what to do, sometimes I've been forced to go into manual mode and get an injection to lower it
