Omnipod Dash product performance
I moved from Omnipod Dash to Omnipod Five about five months ago and have had constant problems. Most of my issues are at night when I get alarm warnings/sinals; waking me at 3, 4, 5 o'clock etc. These alarms are for loss of sgnal fgrom the sensor, (Libra Two Plus), both of which are in line of sight and only 8 inches apart. I also get alarms, also at night, when the pod just decides to chnage modes, also for no apparent reason. When I contacted Insulet they could not give an explanation and only offered to replace the pods Then in the last three weeks I have experienced the pod giving off a continuous loud high pitch whine. Last nigh at 5 o'clock in the morning!! The only way I have found to silence the pod is to hit it with a hammer. When I spoke to Insulet they suggested I poke a pin in the back of the pod to stop the noise! Once again without explanation as to why this is happening. I beleive this product has come to market without ironing out the technical bugs They have not given any thought about the consequences of how this is affecting the patient I wish Roche had never pulled out of the market has I had 12 years of hassle free performance from their products. The time has come to look for an alternative punp system. Omnipod 5 'sounds ' a great technical product, but does not live up to expectations
