Omnipods only lasting 2 days

Ya, I was just trying to be specific because that helps find a solution.

Like an infusion/absorption issue would have a different solution than if it was insulin degradation or if the pod just totally stopped working.

For infusion/absorption problems it could just be a matter of finding better real estate on your body. Or it could be a matter of doing the larger boluses with a syringe or pen, and just using the pod for basal management and small boluses (that would help preserve the site longer).

It’s not the same though. Humalog deteriorates in a pump faster than Novolog. It can work fine with an injection, but that is not the same as after it has been sitting in a pump for a few days.

Read this post I did a while back. A lot of reference links in it.
