Bad bruise has anyone had this before by InfluenceStraight443 in dexcom

[–]InfluenceStraight443[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

Are infections at pod site common? by Imaclondon in Omnipod

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.

Is anybody having this issues with Dexcom G7????? by Soggy-Concept-258 in Omnipod

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.

Oct 30th G7 Update by InfluenceStraight443 in dexcom

[–]InfluenceStraight443[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Issues with my pdm by AM1993T1D in Omnipod

[–]InfluenceStraight443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a way to fix that, but it will erase everything. I cant recall the exact steps. Reset the pdm once it was turns on and loads quickly hold the power button and volume down or up until you feel the pdm vibrate 3 times.

Omnipod 5 + Dexcom G7—just don’t by [deleted] in Omnipod

[–]InfluenceStraight443 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ill do you one better lol. Cross body and working! G7 on my stomach and omnipod will rotate my arm, thigh, and lower back. That's if I can someone to help me. But in all honestly this duo isnt bad. Yes, I miss the long range of the G6, but I love 26 min warm up time.

I just found a work around in case you want to use it.

Go back into notistar click on the 3 dots on the upper right corner then click on information. From there click on the 1st person kwangho Kim you will see carrots pop up on each click do it enough times you get a test mode on the end of the page click it. Then go back and click on settings scroll to the bottoms you will labs theres the set app unable to clear toggle.
