enyawface - I am sorry to hear that your skin is treating the pod like a two magnets with their north pole pointed at each other! I am not able to help you at all. While my time with the pod has not been a perfect ride, I have never had problems with the pod sticking. I am in and out of swimming pools, teaching swim lessons, lifeguarding and swimming laps. I think my skin actually starts to grow attached to the pod! - Not really, but the longer the pod is on, and the more I am in and out of water, the harder it is to remove.
I can understand you not wanting to pay for the extra solutions for sticking (especially if they don’t even work for you). Best of luck with finding something that works for you to make your diabetes management “easier”!!
