hey! still fairly new to my Omnipod (coming up 2 months now) but this is the first I’ve noticed any sort of irritation/raised skin around the cannula site after removing my pump. it’s settling down a bit now (half an hour after removal) but was super swollen to the shape of the little cannula window 😅 I’m doubting it’s insulin pooling as I’ve not had any resistance or trouble at all with my insulin on this pump and I didn’t spot any leaks. is this a common issue to get on some more sensitive spots? this was on my stomach about a pod length away and up from my bellybutton if that helps 😬 it’s not particularly sore or itchy or anything, just made me a bit nervous to see!

hey! I’m very fresh to Omnipod and since being on it I get these stubborn highs in the evening after meals. I changed my insulin to carb ratio from 1:12 to 1:10 today and 5 hours after my dinner I still get this really stubborn high. my Omnipod isn’t suggesting I do a correction because I still have IOB but it’s really not budging, and I got a slap on the wrist for overriding the correction suggestion the previous night but I feel like if I don’t do anything it’ll just stick here. would you guys wait it out and let the pump do its thing or would you sort it? I’m used to being in range most of the time so sitting in the 15s is making me feel rough 😅
