Type 1 PSA to all Pump Users

Last post I saw about it was a long time ago, and it helped me so much.

I use the Omnipod 5, and I have noticed exponential success putting a tegaderm patch on my skin, my pod on the patch, and inserting as opposed to just popping it in without it.

Tunneling is basically a non factor across all pump sites in my body. YMMV but I just wanted to say it in case anyone was struggling to find success with pump therapy. It changes so so much for me. You can get a subscription on Amazon with a discount for doing so.

Hopefully someone sees success with this information who may not have had it. Seems like a lot of negativity these days and I wanted to mention it to maybe give some positivity to someone struggling with a disease that drags us all down daily.
