Good Site, Gone Wrong

It looks like a bug bite, is it really? No. The picture you see above is a picture of where my OmniPod sat on my back.
Last night, after I ate dinner (two piece's of chicken tenders, 2 servings of broccoli with cheese) my BG's where 200; very high for what I ate. I had Quyncee look inside of the clear casing to make sure my cannula was still inserted. She said the cannula was still there but it had blood around it and look like a bug bite or a pimple gone wrong. I boloused off of the 200 reading and an hr later my BG's read 217...Ok, what's really going on? I can't be the only person who's had this problem...

I called Omnipod, was told to remove the Pod and to put a new one on. She said a new Pod would be on it's way. No matter what time of day I've called Insulet's customer service, I've always receive great customer service!!!!

I put a new Pod on. I checked my BG's an hour later back down to 157. I am so glad I didn't go to sleep, I would have been Trouble...maybe laying in the hospital.
I am glad I followed my first mind.

Have a Great Weekend.

What I learned today

Lesson 1: I will not be putting Polly Pod on my arm again. This morning I had to change my site for the Omnipod. I decided to place it on my arm; for me bad choice. I bumped it once, it stayed on. I bumped my arm a second time, this time against the door and Polly Pod almost fell off. I actually thought I liked it on my arm but I was wrong...lol

Lesson 2: Everyday at lunch I go for a walk, it's about 1 mile or 1.5 miles. I was walking w/ my friend and I realized I forgot to set my temp basal. My friend asked me if I wanted to go back. I don't her no I would be ok. Towards the end of our walk, I realized a made a huge mistake. I could feel my BG's drop. I also left my glucose tabs at the office...another bad mistake. Luckily, I made it back to my job w/ my BG's at 70; God was looking out for me. "Never for get the Temp Basal and glucose tabs while walking."
