Hey all, I've been using the Omnipod 5 for 2 or 3 months now and I don't think it's going to work out. 4 or 5 times now, the cannula (the little tube that stabs into you) has fallen out, usually while I'm at my kickboxing class. When I woke up this morning, my blood sugar was high, the sticker that holds the pod on my arm was wet, and it smelled like insulin, so I thought it had fallen out in my sleep. Turns out it had started leaking and the whole fucking reservoir was empty. I'm pretty frustrated, I might just go back to using the pens.

Anybody had any similar experiences? Any other pump suggestions? As far as I know, the Omnipod is the only pump that doesn't have an exterior tube. I can't do tubes.

Edit: I'm really curious what that downvote was for.
