The omnipod sucks, im so tired of it not combating highs and sending me skyrocketing after every meal. Ive only been on it since february and it has sent me skyrocketing like this after just about every meal. I havent been almost 400 in almost 4 years and this just makes me so disappointed and mad at myself even though i know i put in everything correctly. I feel like shit almost daily because of these highs and i dont want to feel like this anymore. Ive adjusted the omnipod settings several times since getting it to be more aggressive and i feel like it doesnt do anything unless i take like 8 units through a pen or if i dont eat anything. Hated medtronic pumps bc 3 failed on me and put me in the hospital so please dont suggest those. I dont know what else to do but im probably gonna end up in the hospital tn bc of the pod :(

Changed my g7 earlier today (about where that 2nd dot is) and it's been going insane? I've heard about it not being the most accurate the first day or 2 but in the 3.5 months that i've had it, ive not experienced this. As you can see from calibrations, it's consistently reading 50-60 points off, first below, then above what i actually am. I did panic calibrate when it was reading really low, and when it was 88 on the g7, my sugar was 100 and it was fine for a bit. Then it went to 150 with double up arrows, while my meter sugar has been riding the 100 line for almost 2 hrs now, and did not take the calibration. I'm unsure whether i should change it and request a replacement tomorrow when it lets me online (says todays date is invalid for when the sensor was inserted and i do not like calls at all even if they aren't bad 😭) or if i should stick it out. Only thing that sucks is im on omnipod automated and the g7 for extreme nighttime hypo prevention and it worries me to keep it in manual while hoping it sorts itself out :/
