Omnipod 5 settings with 3 year old

Disclaimer: we are meeting with her endocrinologist on Monday, and I understand everyone is different.

I am curious to know what Omnipod settings have been successful with younger kids and managing diabetes. My daughter is three and has been a diabetic for over 1 year, but we are struggling more than ever with preventing highs and bringing her back into range without her plummeting. We are finding it hard to pre-bolus her before meals and snacks. Any help with settings/tips/tricks is greatly appreciated!

Omnipod 5 Recall and hypos

Like many, I received an alert that the Omnipod I activated yesterday for my 3 year old daughter is affected by the recall. I have been noticing this past week that she has had an increase of hypo readings throughout the day and over night. I changed her carb ratio, but she still seems to go low out of nowhere. I understand the recalled pods tend to cause hyperglycemia, but I am curious if anyone else is having this same issue with hypos?
