Ok, lesson learned! When working on your car and your pod is on the back of your arm and your working on the under-side of the dash board, half the plastic removed so you can access wiring, your laying under the steering wheel with your back on the floor with half your body sticking out of the car…be very careful how you try to extricate yourself. That slight (
) tug on your arm may be a warning NOT to pull anyway! An expletive due to pain and realization is probably life’s clue you just made a mistake! Decided the rip in the fabric holding the pod on didn’t really require a change…it was OK, right?…spent the rest of the day adding insulin doses to keep myself in range. I was successful, but then this morning that insulin “smell” said otherwise. On removal the cannula was kinked at a 90° angle (angel? I can never get it right!), and the fabric under the pod was soaked. C’est la…lesson learned! (The fact the reason of getting into the dash was not successful is just a bonus!

Does anyone have any OmniPod Lessons Learned on how to keep a pod adhered to the body in 100+ F degrees while running? I’ve asked this before and Eric mentioned using alcohol swipes before adhering the pod to the skin. This does help but not in 100+ degrees. I added OptiPlex tape around the pod and that helps but results in a terrible skin rash, and ultimately, the pod stays on but the cannula comes out under the pod. This typically only happens during these heatwaves. Only a few more days of this heat per forecast! Hope it is the last heatwave for the season. People living in FL must have this problem year round!

There are some wraps they sell on Amazon for stuff like that. Something like this might help.
Those 
are for anything, but here are some specific to the pods:

Thanks, Eric. I was thinking of this! I wear my pod on my abdomen so I am thinking to wear one of those waist bags that you have to step into around it. I bought one a long time ago but didn’t really take to it!
