So, I have been having a lot of problems with my omnipod . I just got it about 3 weeks ago. And although it’s really been helpful it’s also been harmful. I keep getting huge welts where the cannula goes into my skin. Not matter where I put it, seems to get red and irritated and swell up like a bee sting! I even get a red rashy ring around the adhesive at times. When I explained this to my doc she seemed to think I may have an allergy to either the adhesive or Teflon (the tubing). So I ordered these protective barrier wipes to treat the site before I insert. Hope that works. Otherwise, I may not be able to stay on the pump. Has anyone else experienced these problems before? Anyone else with a teflon allergy? So strange to me. But would be just my luck! :[ haha! Alright, just thought I’d throw that one out there and see if anyone had these probs before. Have a great week!
