Omnipod 5 Poll

I’d give the OmniPod a 2 out of 5, but that’s just my experience. You can see more about my experience over at a separate thread I started a few days ago: Giving up on OmniPod 5 - #11 by Ali4

I didn’t use it for very long because every pod I used had some kind of a problem (6 out of 6 pods failed). That doesn’t seem to be the case with others though, so on my end, was probably a combination of bad luck, learning curve, user error, and my body doesn’t like their cannulas. Not sure. The technology for controlling basal rates is pretty similar to the Tandem Control IQ system–when it works, it works well, so that was nice. The benefits of control over my variable basal rate were not worth the problems I experienced with inconsistent insulin delivery.
