I seem to have more omnipod occlusions than most folks I see on this site. I have about a 20% failure rate with occlusions. I have been using for 18 months so not alot of scar tissue. I rotate sites and use the "pinch up" method. Now that Omnipod is not replacing occluded pods any more I'm considering switching pumps. Any advice?

Try not pinching the area. It tends to cause kinking in the cannula, and that could cause an occlusion. What sites do you use?
This is probably a dumb question, but how do you know if they are occlusions? Do you know that from the ref#? I ask, because my daughter has had a TON of errors lately (3 today, 1 before it was placed on her though). I always wish I knew why they error-ed. Omnipod has always replaced ours. Why don’t they replace for occlusions anymore?
Thank you,
Amber
