I put a new Dash pod on yesterday (side of left thigh) and when I move the wrong way the insertion site is rather painful, a burning/stinging sensation. Nothing obviously wrong in the pump window. Maybe I hit a nerve?? What I am wondering is whether Insulet will replace this one if I change it out? I do have a bit of a stockpile so that’s not an issue but…I sure hate to waste one. Thanks for any thoughts on this situation! ---

I would change it. No sense being uncomfortable for 2 more days. I think they will replace it for you. Sometimes there are problems - pods have an occlusion, they fall off, or whatever. Those get replaced. This seems like it falls into a reasonable category for replacing. I have not had too many problems getting replacements. ---
