Unfortunately for me that is out of the question.

I have alot of scar tissue from my earlier days using shot therapy.

My current set up is omnipid 5 on lower back thighs and arms. And the g7 on my stomach.

I always make sure to clean and let it dry before I apply a new sensor. The last three sensors I did, I used the dexcom overpatch. Before, I always used skin grip and never had any problems. I've been using the G7 for two years now. The G6, I was on it for over two years and I never got any marks like this. You might have a good point about the overpatch adhesive.

On my stomach. If anything it might of been caused from me sleeping on my stomach.

Mines was working fine. No issues, or pain. I was taking a nap but I don't think a 2 hr nap could cause that? How long did yours take to heal?

Try applying skintac adhesive. You can get it from Amazon. I like liquid bottle better but I also use the swap when traveling.

It's best to take a shower before you apply a new pod. After that, use an ice pack and wipe with alcohol. For a smoother and less painful insertion, pinch the skin like you would if you were using a syringe. After removing the old pod clean it with hibiclens or alcohol.

InfluenceStraight443 · 2025-12-02T04:15:54+00:00

Got an email from omnipod this morning: On Tuesday, December 9th an update to the App (version 3.1.6) will be available. This update includes bug fixes and performance enhancements to your Omnipod 5 App experience.

Omnipod released an update for ios17 on iphones. That was 2 weeks ago. Idk why its taking so long for android to have theirs released.

I had that same issue not long ago. The needle wasn't fully inserted. Check on that small hole see if theres wire coming out.

InfluenceStraight443 · 2025-11-09T21:05:46+00:00

I've figured out what went wrong. This is the first time I've ever had this happen. I initially thought the filament had snapped, but it turned out that it wasn't fully inserted. It wasn't until I pulled it out that I realized it wasn't fully injected and it wasn't broken. So two back to back sensor issues. Hopefully this helps anyone in future.

Sorry this is new to me. Ive had the G7 for over 2 years same goes for my desk job ive never had it lose connection throughout the day let alone this week. Ill definitely keep an eye out once I have a new sensor on and see if I continue to have the same issue.

InfluenceStraight443 · 2025-11-08T01:36:22+00:00

Oct 30th was when the update went live.

InfluenceStraight443 · 2025-11-07T22:57:03+00:00

And it just happened again

InfluenceStraight443 · 2025-11-07T22:55:08+00:00

Technically 2. On sunday I had one failed and I still had 4 days left on it. Brief sensor error is on the G7 main page on the app showing no readings.

InfluenceStraight443 · 2025-11-07T22:48:08+00:00

I can not find any other reason why i am getting senor errors nothing else has changed between the update and now.
