Degraded product

I left part of this as a comment in another thread-

I personally think the pods have degraded. I have used Omnipod for years but only recently have they been continually failing to deliver insulin. My bolus is not high, I was stuck at 400 which is very uncharacteristic for me. I ended up giving an injection in my stomach to lower it. I called for a replacement today and noticed my pod had 50+ units. I only fill mine to the lowest/minimum line and I was on day 3. No way had I not used any insulin.

I contacted my dr about changing pods sooner but why is this an issue now? My body comp hasn’t changed. My insulin needs haven’t changed. My pods have just stopped performing. It’s ruining my A1c.

I also have a half marathon I’m running and having these highs waking me up at night because my pod isn’t correcting them is not ideal. Waking up with a fasting close to 200 when I am usually 90-100. Not knowing the pod is basically trash till an entire day passes and your sugars are just stuck high.
