Nope, none at all. I have since worked out that this might have been a "tired" site if that makes sense. I've used my arms for the past few weeks and not had any issues. Just switched back to my thigh today and will see how it goes :)

Hello!
As I suspect many others here are, I am also a reddit refugee. Anyway, to the point.
I am seeking advice in what I can do about the insane spike I get a couple hours after I change my Omnipod. It’s a new phenomenon for me, having only happened the last 4 or 5 changes. I’ve been on Omnipod for a little over 6 months.
My theory so far is that any new site is quite a bit longer to start absorbing insulin for some reason. I used to just have to bolus 0.5 units after a change, but to get down from this spike I ended up having 10.65 units on board, which is a scary amount for me if I don’t have any carbs to back it up.
Have anyone experienced similar, and found a way to deal with it?
Thank you!
Nah, this was 3 site changes in a row. All the same. As I said in another comment, I think it was just that my thighs were "tired". But time will tell today.
