Does the smell of insulin always imply a pump leak?

For a laugh, right after I responded to this, apparently EH had a site failure (okay, not funny, but the timing! Made me chuckle). Which of course we didn’t catch - it didn’t smell like insulin. He just drifted high and stayed there (we thought it was the British beer he’d been drinking). It was time later that night to pull the pod and I realized afterwards “doh! Site failed!” He had a lump where the cannula was inserted and it was quite red. Going to pull this one midway day 3 and see if that helps.
