hello! ive been dealing with t1d for 3 years now, currently using an omnipod 5 paired with the dexcom g7. for awhile now, whenever i put a pump on it is about a 50/50 chance it actually works or not, and when it dosent, it always bleeds when i remove it. i use my stomach mainly, but have been trying my arms, back, and legs with no success. it leads to constant high blood sugar and ketones. i thought i would see if anyone has a solution as it is leading you many sleepless night, added stress to school and work, and a huge concern for my long term health. thank you, -will ---

@willygjamz _ **Welcome Will to the Breakthrough T1D Community Forum!** _ I do not use the OmniPod so I can’t offer any first hand tips or experiences, but from what other folks have told me about the Omni, your experience is very unusual. I suggest that you contact the OmniPod, Insulet, customer support soon and ask for their expert advice, ---

Hi Will. I’ve been on Omnipod for a couple of years now and have an occasional site issue but nothing that frequent and I’ve never had bleeding. When I started on Omnipod I just did the online training but in person sessions can be withwhile to find the technique. That said, the bleeding is curious but in case it’s a red herring can you go into a little more detail about what’s going on? I’m wondering if it might have to do with your background settings? When starting on a pump the initial ones your doctor assigns may need to be fine tuned. ---

Hello! Thanks for the response. Ive changed settings a whole lot, and when a pump works, it really works great. It’s strange because a pump that has worked does not bleed when I take it off. When one doesn’t work, it does bleed though. Usually a very tiny amount, too. ---

Although the bleeding does not happen every time, and you seem to have found areas that are particularly prone to it, you might see about getting checked for a bleeding disorder. Likewise, if you take aspirin regularly you might ask your doctor if that could be the cause, in which case they could might some adjustments.
